[LLVMdev] Open work items with a small scope

This project is owned by my team, and we certainly welcome contributions!
Have you tried to contact us via https://github.com/clang-omp/clang/issues ?

Either way, it is really hard to find a short-term "new development" work
for your team in OpenMP -- as the implementation is more or less already
finished. Yes, it can benefit from some refactoring here and there, but I
doubt this is what you are looking for.

One area still missing, though, is capturing variables with variable-length
array type. There is a similar question (is it posted by one of you?) and
more elaborate answer: https://github.com/clang-omp/clang/issues/12

Yours,
Andrey Bokhanko
