Leslie - 

I think this is a great idea.  It will be useful for students looking for 
ways to participate in OSS projects, as you describe.

In addition, as a faculty member, I'll be curious to see what projects 
show up on the list.  The OSS universe is quite large, and it's hard to 
figure out what projects might be receptive to having students 
participate.  Having a list like this would be a good resource for faculty 
trying to find projects to develop some relationship with.
