Nice ideas! :) Let's stress that it's a 2-steps course : 1) study the project architecture and 2) implement something. It should span 3 months, during which the student(s) would be present on the mailing list. I sent the ideas to the teachers to get a first reaction, and more details about the students level / speciality. Cheers!
