-## Picking up an idea
-
-We maintain a set of "ideas" for talented scientists and developers to pick up.
-An "idea" is a sketch of a development project, or a missing feature we would like to see in your ROOT!
-You can inspect the ideas in the following list.
-
-{% assign sorted = site.ideas | reverse %}
-
-### Some Ideas <a href="{{ 'feed/ideas.xml' | relative_url }}"><img style="width:auto; height:1.0em;" src="{{'/assets/images/feed.svg' | relative_url}}"></a>
-
-<ul>
-{% for idea in sorted %}
-{% if idea.state != "completed" %}
-<li> {{idea.date | date_to_string }} <a href="{{ idea.url | relative_url }}"> {{ idea.title}} </a><br>
-{{idea.summary}}
-</li>

-{% endfor %}

+### What about fixing an "easy" bug?
 
-### Completed ideas
+Several of ROOT’s bugs are actually not all that difficult to fix by a C++ programmer able to
+handle large code bases - we just don’t get around to actually do it. Maybe you can help?
+It’s a great way to exercise how to collaborate in a vivid, medium-size project, following
+industry best practice. Find your favorite
+[here](https://github.com/root-project/root/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).
