I am currently confined to home, and am likely to spend a substantial amount here until I am well enough to return to work. I had hoped to make myself useful, but I was disappointed to find that the only ways to help suggested on the “Get Involved” page on the Calibre site are to offer translations or to write a plugin.

I am a highly capable programmer with several decades of experience including C, Perl, Python, HTML, CSS, XSLT, regular expressions et cetera, but have no particular ideas of plugins that I would like to write and cannot offer any written languages other than English.

I assume that there is work going on with the core of Calibre that I could help with? I wonder if there is something that I could write, so as to speed up development or reduce the pressure on those already involved?

Alternatively, is there something like a wish list of plugins that I could implement?
