Run a #100daysofideas challenge

[Daniel-Mietchen]

I currently have 1340 open issues in this ideas repository. About half of them are of the kind Look into X, usually because I had the idea that that X might be useful for some of the things I am doing or aspiring to do.

What I do not have is a systematic way to go about addressing these tickets, so I am planning to use this challenge to figure out a way to do this, and a 100daysofideas challenge seems to be a practical approach to that.

I checked Twitter for entries under the #100daysofideas hashtag, and while there were some, none of them seem to have made it till the finish line.
