For RTEMS (http://www.rtems.org) we keep two separate "wish list"
pages and keep them out of Bugzilla.  The first "wish list" is what
we consider harder or larger projects.

http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/Open_Projects

FWIW that needs a review now that GSoC is wrapping up.  Some
items on that page have made significant progress.

The second are the ones we think are smaller, may be large but
have lots of discrete pieces so you can walk in and out and make
progress, may not be not as difficult, and/or could be broken down
into class room assignments with each student or small group doing
an individual piece.  Together they would be contributing something large.

One example is that we are now doing full object coverage testing.
We are at 100% for a core set of code on some targets.  We want
to expand the code base covered.

We also have virtual machine images which have our recommended
development environment preinstalled.  We would be happy to
work with an instructor to tailor one for their intentions.
