We might start with one project with 4 students to try this program out. If you are interested, please reply and create / update your entry at the Possible Projects page.
Interestingly enough, I /do/ have a project I'd be happy to put forward that's quite in scope if we'd like to touch on something more system-level than our usual UX fare: there is a serious hole in reasonably self-contained distributed cron-like schedulers in the open source world, and I can see a number of valuable uses for one in Tool Labs (and probably some spots in prod!).
I've had that idea at the back of my mind for some time, and I was planning on starting it myself but for the lack of actual free time. This is a very well delineated project of sufficiently modest scope that a small team of students may well be able to tackle succesfully in that kind of timeframe, and it's sufficiently generally useful that it makes for a worthwhile open source project.
Thoughts? Is it worth suggesting and putting forward?
