Hi Henrique,

thanks for your answer.
Your suggestion sounds good, this could be the right task for me.
How should i start with this? Just walk trough the list of bugs and write 
comments after trying them out( and maybe contact the maintainter of the 
project )? Or should i concentrate on a specific application?

Thank you in advance,
Michael Goettsche.
