It would be good for newcomers who want to help ooc/rock to be able to find issues that are easy enough to fix and would help them become familiar with the rock codebase. So I think tagging suitable issues as 'newcomer' would be good. Are they any suitable issues at the moment?

It is actually pretty tricky to say if an issue is going to be easy for a newcomer or not because of the nature of the problem.

Even what appears to be a trivial bug can be caused by a bizarre set of reasons.
I would actually say that adding features is easier than solving most bugs, if you keep a couple of things in mind (avoid double evaluation, replace nodes only when/if needed, use common roots for type inference).

I would say #985 and #992 should be fairly simple at the moment. #990 must be pretty simple if this is a parser bug, which it probably is.
