 ==== Update Orphaned Ports ==== #orphanports
+
 Several of the current MacPorts developers originally became interested in the project because they wanted to improve the software that MacPorts installs.
 Fixing and/or updating ports is an excellent introduction to the MacPorts systems (phases, variants, PortGroups, etc.).

 A small number of updates, such as to the [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48899 Glasgow Haskell Compiler], would be much more of a challenge.

+==== Managing and Fixing Qt Versions ==== #qt
+
+Fix issues in [query:status=assigned|new|reopened&port~=qt3|qt4|qt5 open tickets for Qt 3, Qt 4, and Qt 5], in particular allowing for concurrent installation of the various Qt versions. There are around 50 outstanding tickets for the various Qt versions. Some involve patching and testing on multiple OSs. Some are probably invalid but need to be tested to determine validity. The end goal for this project is to allowing for concurrent installation of the various Qt versions, and then verifying and resolving as many issues as possible that weren't resolved by the concurrent changes. Requires knowledge of Portfile programming (Tcl), Qt programming (primarily C++), and Qt makefile programming (QMake); other programming knowledge that would be useful include shell (e.g., bash) and C.
