Great!
The JuniorJob keyword mostly marks bugs which we think that can be 
solved without too deep understanding of the internal structure of 
Eigen. Many still require some knowledge of the underlying problem.
There are very likely more open bugs/feature requests for which this is 
the case -- there might also be bugs which have long been fixed, so if 
you really like, you can also work through the entire bug list 
(especially those marked 'NEW') if there are problems that are either 
not reproducible anymore, or that you think you can provide a solution for.
There is no actual preference to the order. You can start with what is 
(or may become) most important for you (and you feel capable of solving).
