[Rd] Helping out - simple bugs to help familiarize with R design, source, etc

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi All,

Well I finally have found the time to get svn working and I have  
successfully built my own tuned atlas (multi-threaded version) libs  
and have both the r-devel and r-patched trees building daily on my box.

The problem is I still do not have a good idea of the layout and  
design of R, and typically I "learn by doing" by trying to fix a bug  
that hits me.  Unfortunately ;-) no bugs have hit me (which indicates  
how good the current software really is!) other than the small build  
issue I sent a pseudo-patch for earlier.

I tried to look at your bug database but I found it hard to tell what  
was really relevant.  So could someone who knows please point me at  
one or two minor or annoying bugs they want to have tracked down and  
fixed.  Fixing those will force me to become more familiar with the  
source code and help me learn my way around before jumping in further.

Duncan, sorry about not getting in touch with you last week, I simply  
have been overwhelmed with trying to clean up and pack up my office,  
return computer equipment and the like.  I will try again next week  
once I am back in the office.

Thanks,

Kevin
