On the whole, I hope this happens. It would be an interesting experiment.
One thing I don't really understand is the process for this .... are students meant to trawl the wine-devel archives looking for ideas? Or should I go stick a link to this thread on the wiki and students can just point to that? The current wiki page implies students have to invent all their own ideas, but I remember last year we compiled a big list on the wiki.
