We've identified the first ten of one hundred paper cuts* that we plan
to fix for Karmic:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bugs?orderby=-importance&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED
The goal is to have all ten fixed by next Friday, at which point we
will announce 10% progress on the project and celebrate. If next week
goes well and we can get enough developers involved, we will continue
at a pace of ten paper cuts healed per week. With a pace like that,
this project is going to get a lot of attention and get everyone super
excited for Karmic.
If you are interested in getting involved with the project, there is
no better time to start. Pick one of these ten bugs and get busy:
identify affected projects, make contact upstream, look for patches
floating around, begin crafting a fix, or provide any other feedback.
Also, if any of these don't appear to be fixable by next Friday,
please comment that the bug may not be a paper cut. Some of them
appear to be nontrivial, but someone with more expertise might
discover a trivial way to make progress on the issue if not solve it
completely. Canonical's Design and User Experience team aims to get
involved with these first ten before early next week, but if a paper
cut is not blocking on their involvement (many are not) and you can
make progress, by all means please do so.
Thank you,
David
PS: For the curious, here are the potential remaining paper cuts:

Many people have already started working on confirmed paper cuts, and
a few fixes have already landed.
*Paper cuts are trivially fixable usability bugs that the average user
would encounter during his/her first day of using vanilla Ubuntu 9.10.
