All Ingo said continued, if you're still wondering, it may be a good idea to contact other seasoned OpenBSD users in your area and ask them for suggestions what they would like to have and miss the time and skill to contribute. Additions however, have to be maintained, so if you're just looking for a term project, starting a new program and disappearing is not the best service, I'd say it's the opposite. Better be prepared to stick around and look for converting something in, or improving on some part, rather than new designs. >From a user perspective check out daemons that need and miss a control accompanying program or a service utility, that could count for your term assignment but be a quick win, gaining you more learning insight, rather than stuck in the deep (with potentially unacceptable offerings).
