+  desc: |
+    ruby-json contains code that is not Free under the FSF's
+    definition, not Open Source under the OSI's definition, and not
+    GPL-compatible.  This has coused much consternation among folks
+    who care about any of those 3 things.
+
+    This PR replaces that non-Free code with Free code, removing
+    friction for Ruby users on GNU/Linux distros that care about those
+    3 things.

+  desc: |
+    To do its work, mkinitcpio needs to know the version number of the
+    Linux kernel that it is generating an image for; the normal way
+    that it knows this is to sniff the version number from the kernel
+    file.  However, it fails to sniff the version number from ARM
+    zImage kernels, which means that Arch Linux ARM and Parabola for
+    ARM need to resort to hacks to get mkinitcpio to work right.
+
+    This PR removes that friction by teaching mkinitcpio to understand
+    ARM zImage files.

+  desc: |
+    One of the things going on in the secure-boot world is moving
+    toward "Unified Kernel Images" (UKI), which are when the kernel
+    and the init-ramdisk are bundled together into a single file to
+    reduce the risk of a compromised init-ramdisk being able to
+    compromise a secured kernel.  This PR reduces friction when using
+    mkinitcpio to generate images directly as UKI without generating a
+    plain init-ramdisk first.

+    To do this, `file` reads a "magic" file that describes the magic
+    numbers that it might see in a file.  This PR fixes a mistake in
+    the `magic(5)` manual for writing such files.

+  tags: [GI, docs]
+  desc: |
+    The not-quite-markdown format that `.gir` files use for
+    documentation is under-specified and hard to parse.  Right now I'm
+    focusing on how to properly parse it, so that we can have
+    top-notch language-specific documentation for GI libraries.
+
+    This PR is laying the groundwork for the new parser.

+  desc: |
+    I'm working to improve documentation for GNU/Linux, but more than
+    that I'm working to improve the forms of documentation that more
+    skilled technical writers might be afraid or incapable of working
+    on: `--help` text, generated documentation, and auditing
+    documentation against the source code to make sure that it is
+    accurate and complete.
+ARM:
+  prettyName: ARM support
+  desc: |
+    Not that folks can't use GNU/Linux on ARM (obviously, the
+    Raspberry Pi has been a huge success), but there's still a lot
+    more friction to using GNU/Linux on ARM compared to x86.  I'm
+    working on that.
+GI:
+  prettyName: GObject Introspection
+  desc: |
+    GObject Introspection (which is a terrible name for what it is,
+    btw) is a cross-(language-runtime) object system.  GObject was an
+    object system for C that game out of GTK+, and then GObject
+    Introspection was created as a way to specify the ABI for working
+    with an object, so that GObjects could be used from other
+    languages.  I think that GObject Introspection is a really cool
+    technology that can be the basis of reducing friction between
+    languages, but it needs better/more-ubiquitous tooling.
