KDE has had "junior jobs" longer! ;-)

To clarify, are you intending to mark things that are "easy", or things 
that are GSOC-fodder (i.e. both "easy" *and* will take a few months)?

Tagging "easy" bugs as good "feet-wetting" activities is probably a good 
idea. For GSOC-fodder type stuff, I think Bruno has the right idea to 
put it on a wiki.
