Everyone,

Any ideas for a serious class project, like in PHP, perhaps, that also would be 
useful to SMW?

I have 23 talented junior CS majors who built a SMW-based Wiki this fall.  When 
populated with data, it will show the flow of concepts related to our courses, 
etc. at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

This same class is next heading into a course in software design.  I would love 
to give them a design and programming project to do, which could benefit this 
particular Wiki they built, but which also would be of interest to you, the SMW 
community.  I suggested PHP, above, because a key goal of the design course is 
for the students to become adept at software patterns and other OO skills.

As a student project, this should not be something critical in your development 
path, but, ideally, if they produced a high quality result, it is something 
that might end up rolled into the general product or might become an extension. 
 In previous classes, we have ended up submitting results back into SourceForge.

So, do you have specific ideas that come to mind?  Or, do you have a "wish 
list" already, that they could go look at, and choose for themselves?

We would love to have this class be the test case for an ongoing relationship.

Your recommendations are greatly appreciated!
