Now that you mentioned web coding... my ideas have just opened up.

Here are some bugs dealing with web stuff:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?string=web&project=1&search_name=&type[]=&sev[]=&pri[]=&due[]=&reported[]=&cat[]=&status[]=open&percent[]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=&do=index

also, don't forget that http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?project=2
(aur) is full of web related bugs.

For something more concrete, my 2 pet peeves for the arch website are:
1. inconsistent headers between the new headers and the bugs/aur header
2. websvn is b0rked and needs some repairs.

If you can fix those, that would be awesome :)
Btw, you can do whatever you think will improve archlinux.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
