When you start working on them, I suggest roughly the list in the order
above. Regulatory might not be the first thing though.

If you do though, please don't do everything and then post all patches
at once -- each of those items should be self-contained enough to post
separately. This helps synchronise with others who might be working on
it and also helps since we can review the code and suggest corrections
if needed.

Let me know if you need more info!

Thanks,
johannes
