Original report text

Although we have a fund for bounties that can pay for FreeCAD work, it is difficult to use the fund because of a lack of suitable issues. They are often too small/specific bugs or too large issues like "fix toponaming". It would be beneficial to have someone go through some existing discussions in the forums and distill them into medium-sized work items suitable for a $100 bounty.

The issues should be clearly described, and have concrete achievables as well as specific requirements laid out so that there would be no doubt when someone can claim the bounty. In order to close this issue, as the bug opener I would consider documenting 10 high-quality issues to be enough to claim this bounty. Note that the issues can encompass any task that would be considered a FreeCAD project activity, for example an issue similar to this one would be acceptable, valuable contributions are not only code.
