Here is a tentative list of 100 paper cuts for Karmic, divided into 10 weekly milestones of 10 paper cuts each (some milestones contain an additional Kubuntu paper cut):

Many of these paper cuts call for trivial patches, requiring little design consideration or user testing. Some of the paper cuts would benefit from the involvement of the Canonical User Experience and Design team, so the milestones outline a schedule for Design team participation.

Guide to paper cut statuses:

• Confirmed: the bug has been reported as a paper cut and was checked at least once against paper cut criteria.
• Triaged: the bug has design feedback on it, and is ready to be worked on.
• Invalid: the bug is not a paper cut, and should be replaced within its milestone. Please mark incomplete and discuss instead of marking invalid.
• Incomplete, in progress, fix committed, etc. mean what they usually mean.

If you feel like fixing a paper cut, please assign it to yourself. If you can conduct user testing or other research, that would really help make progress on the trickier paper cuts. Some people have been blogging about paper cuts, and have even been conducting user testing with their readers, or informal surveys in the comments. Others are busy writing patches.

We are trying to fix these for Friday and we’re making great progress. Please blog, tweet (#100papercuts), and dent about paper cut progress until all one hundred are fixed!
