Getting good mark is a good motivation of course but not the only one. I'm going to show them some projects and every of them will chose one project that is interested to him or her. Students already know what the project tracker is and what tasks it allows to solve so there can be one who would like to work on some project tracker. I will give students a chance to work on a specific project only if it is interesting for him.

Actually contrary to Christian I think this method is useful (having been working myself a while at the university I probably understand the idea behind better). It is much like the idea of Googles summer of code.

From my view it is important, that:

a) You are aware that the mentoring from the project side can be at minimum and also may fail at each point of time (volunteers :-), but usually OpenSource-projects are helpful for willing persons.

b) The academic stuff must be on your side.

I invite you to have a look at http://josm.openstreetmap.org/ (The Java editor for openstreetmap), we always favor people implementing nice new features in the core software or as plugin.
