In mid-September I posted some material to the mailing list and Wiki regarding the possibility of M.Sc students at Oxford working on Tuscany as the project element of their course. I am also now talking to a University in France (Ecole des Mines de Nantes) about a similar proposal, although in the case of EMN, the project represents about 4 months of effort, compared to Oxford's 1 or 2.
Various people suggested project titles, that are listed here http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Tuscany/CommunityBuilding, however, there isn't sufficient detail to allow me to sell the ideas, or an interested student to assess whether the subject is worth pursuing. If you are active in any of the areas listed, could you supply more detail, either on the Wiki page, or direct to me if that is easier. Thanks in advance.
