+Looking for things to hack on?  Great, here's a partial list:
+
+* Wean off openssl's -lcrypto: use libsodium for all RNG, gmp for base58.
+* Grep for FIXME and fix one :)
+* Look on https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues
+* Write canned input/output test cases for various conversations, and
+  include them in a form suitable for other implementations to test.
