-If you want to jump in, you can look at our issues list to see if there

-base and make a nice first step:
-
-* Convert a `git_*modulename*_foreach()` callback-based iteration API
-  into a `git_*modulename*_iterator` object with a create/advance style
-  of API.  This helps folks writing language bindings and usually isn't
-  too complicated.
-* Write a new `examples/` program that mirrors a particular core git
-  command.  (See `examples/diff.c` for example.)  This lets you (and us)
-  easily exercise a particular facet of the API and measure compatability
-  and feature parity with core git.
-* Submit a PR to clarify documentation! While we do try to document all of
-  the APIs, your fresh eyes on the documentation will find areas that are
-  confusing much more easily.

 ## Compatibility

-It is written in [ANSI C](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_C) (a.k.a. C89)

+Projects For LibGit2
+====================
+
+So, you want to start helping out with `libgit2`? That's fantastic! We
+welcome contributions and we promise we'll try to be nice.
+
+This is a list of libgit2 related projects that new contributors can take
+on.  It includes a number of good starter projects and well as some larger
+ideas that no one is actively working on.
+
+## Before You Start
+
+Please start by reading the README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and CONVENTIONS.md
+files before diving into one of these projects.  Those will explain our
+work flow and coding conventions to help ensure that your work will be
+easily integrated into libgit2.
+
+Next, work through the build instructions and make sure you can clone the
+repository, compile it, and run the tests successfully.  That will make
+sure that your development environment is set up correctly and you are
+ready to start on libgit2 development.
+
+## Starter Projects
+
+These are good small projects to get started with libgit2.
+
+* Look at the `examples/` programs, find an existing one that mirrors a
+  core Git command and add a missing command-line option.  There are many
+  gaps right now and this helps demonstrate how to use the library.  Here
+  are some specific ideas:
+    * Fix the `examples/diff.c` implementation of the `-B`
+      (a.k.a. `--break-rewrites`) command line option to actually look for
+      the optional `[<n>][/<m>]` configuration values. There is an
+      existing comment that reads `/* TODO: parse thresholds */`. The
+      trick to this one will be doing it in a manner that is clean and
+      simple, but still handles the various cases correctly (e.g. `-B/70%`
+      is apparently a legal setting).
+    * Implement the `--log-size` option for `examples/log.c`. I think all
+      the data is available, you would just need to add the code into the
+      `print_commit()` routine (along with a way of passing the option
+      into that function).
+    * As an extension to the matching idea for `examples/log.c`, add the
+      `-i` option to use `strcasestr()` for matches.
+    * For `examples/log.c`, implement the `--first-parent` option now that
+      libgit2 supports it in the revwalk API.
+* Pick a Git command that is not already emulated in `examples/` and write
+  a new example that mirrors the behavior.  Examples don't have to be
+  perfect emulations, but should demonstrate how to use the libgit2 APIs
+  to get results that are similar to Git commands.  This lets you (and us)
+  easily exercise a particular facet of the API and measure compatability
+  and feature parity with core git.
+* Submit a PR to clarify documentation! While we do try to document all of
+  the APIs, your fresh eyes on the documentation will find areas that are
+  confusing much more easily.
+* Add support for the symref protocol extension, so we don't guess
+  what the remote's default branch is
+  [#2006](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/2006)
+
+If none of these appeal to you, take a look at our issues list to see if
+there are any unresolved issues you'd like to jump in on.
+
+## Larger Projects
+
+These are ideas for larger projects mostly taken from our backlog of
+[Issues](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues).  Please don't dive
+into one of these as a first project for libgit2 - we'd rather get to
+know you first by successfully shipping your work on one of the smaller
+projects above.
+
+* Port part of the Git test suite to run against the command line emulation
+  in examples/
+* Fix symlink support for files in the .git directory (i.e. don't overwrite
+  the symlinks when writing the file contents back out)
+* Implement a 'git describe' like API
+* Add hooks API to enumerate and manage hooks (not run them at this point)
+* Isolate logic of ignore evaluation into a standalone API
+* Upgrade internal libxdiff code to latest from core Git
+* Add a hashtable lookup for files in the index instead of binary search
+  every time
+* Make the index write the cache out to disk (with tests to gain
+  confidence that the caching invalidation works correctly)
+* Have the tree builder use a hash table when building instead of a
+  list.
+* Move the tagopt mechanism to the newer git 1.9 interpretation of
+  --tags [#2120](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/2120)
