How to find a proper bug to fix

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Konstantin,

If you're completely stuck then we've compiled together a few lists of
things at http://adoptopenjdk.java.net - small tasks that help you get
familiar with the OpenJDK code base.

PS: A new bug tracking system is due to come in soon which should make this
all a lot easier.

Cheers,
Martijn
