Several Free/Open Source Software projects maintain lists of "easy hacks" (or "easy bugs", or "newcomer bugs", or similar expressions depending on the project), meant to be good starting points for new code contributors.

Below you can find a list of such "easy hacks" listings, for well-known FOSS projects.

(Please keep the list sorted alphabetically by FOSS project name. For each project we try to give both a pointer to the actual list of easy hacks and a "more info" link pointing to extra information about the initiative.)
