I would like to start contributing patches to the rails codebase in  
order to give something back to the community that has helped me so  
much. Is there a master list of open issues that I could begin looking  
into?

Thanks

Jordan

[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing\_to\_rails.html](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_rails.html) is a good  
place to start
