One thing which bothered me since I started hacking libzypp are the many 
warnings it spits out during compiling.  Some are simply compiler 
warnings (e.g. about deprecated interfaces, initialization order or the 
like), and ideally should all be fixed.  Some others are development 
reminders, ala

  #warning we still need to implement this frobatz thingy

Those are of course harder to fix as they usually entail implementing or 
amending whole features.  Still, also those would be nice to see go away.

So, if you want to help there ... :-)  I suggest, though, that you start 
with the jump_sat branch at:

  http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/branches/tmp/ma/jump_sat/libzypp

which will be what the upcoming libzypp will be.  You need the satsolver 
libraries for that, which are at:

Ciao,
