Which doesn't help anyone, because neither of those provide a list of 
"hey, here's stuff you could do to contribute". The closest we come to 
that is the TODO, which isn't well known and has almost no items for 
newbies (and the newbie items that are there don't offer much advice).

The reason I this matters is because yesterday I posted a task for a new 
hacker with simple guidelines and 24 hours later it was completed[1]. 
That tells me there's people that would love to contribute but don't 
know how or what to contribute.

I realize a tracker *by itself* won't solve that, but it is the first 
place anyone that wants to contribute code is likely to look. So having 
one makes it more likely that new people will contribute.

On a related note, anyone interested in growing the community should 
take a look at [2]. tl;dr: best way to grow the community is to attract 
some folks that will make growing it their priority.
