Another good place to look are the README files in various
directories, e.g. lib/Target/X86/README.txt and friends, these usually
contain "someone should fix this some day" sorts of projects. The bug
list is also a reasonable place to start - if lacking in direction or
difficulty level. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask on
the list though :)
