One note up front: we do not top-post on this mailing list. Replies to emails are supposed to go below the quoted text, or should be mixed below specific quotes you want to reply to.

Also, you don't need approval to pick on a microproject. It is totally fine to just pick something you think can be converted, double check whether some other applicant is working on it already by searching through recent mails on the mailing list, and then start working on it.

I couldn't really see anything that would need to be done for (1) and (3), both of them look mostly fine to me. But (2) certainly looks like a good candidate to me for modernization.

Thanks!
