## Other Projects
Here's a [[list|projects/ideas]] of some other, smaller projects SIPB members would like to work on. For (recent-)historical interest, a list of some [past projects](https://stuff.mit.edu/sipb/project-list.html) circa 2000-2007 also exists. On December 13, 2008, [[we squashed|projects/lenny-bugs]] a [[bunch of bugs|projects/lenny-bugs-all]] in Debian Lenny.
