Special addendum, I’m attempting to crowdsource changelog generation for the upcoming release, and I’ve opened these issues to track that sub-project:

> **[CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/search?q=title+summarization&type=Issues)**
>
> Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead. A turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. - CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA

These are pretty straightforward issues that require 0(zero) programming knowledge, just reading comprehension and interacting with the github site. So if you want to help out but dont feel like you can tackle the more technical issues, now’s your chance.
