===============
There are many 'easy tasks' suitable for new contributors. AWN is primarily a C codebase that is currently slowly moving towards C++ (C++11 included). While we haven't switched to Gtkmm yet, there's plenty of places where the code can be improved by using C++ APIs*. For example:
* use std::string instead of plain gchar* strings
* use boost::filesystem instead of GLib file API
* use standard containers instead of GLib equivalents
* etc.
Most of such changes are comparatively local and have low risk. Thus you don't need to know the codebase well in order to contribute. Nor you have to be a C++ guru. Just open any *.cc file, search for a gchar* C string being allocated and freed within the same function and change it to std::string. It's just that easy :) All similar contributions are welcome.

* while switching to C++ by itself has little benefit, practices such as RAII vastly reduce the chance of common bugs.
