Here it goes:
 1. Java: A graphical application to configure options and used JDKs on
a per application basis. The application should also be a GUI for
eselect java-nsplugin and java-config.
 2. Java: Improve the FOSS Java stack support on Gentoo. Integrate for
example cacao and jamvm properly as JDKs into our Java setup. They need
to be installable without a JDK already installed and and you need to
make sure the core stack like dev-java/ant is working properly.
 3. Java: Setup a binary package repository for Java only packages on
Gentoo.
 4. Recruiters: Build a graphical application to replace the current
quizzes.

As I will apply as a student myself Joshua Nichols will be mentoring the
Java students and I am hoping that for example kloeri can do the
equizapp part.

Firstly I'm going to guess this would be a java app.
Would you like to elaborate on whether we would just wrap the functionality 
around that of existing tools like eselect and java-config or would we 
reimplement this within java.  This actually sounds like an interesting 
project.

Well I would at least separate the functionality into a library and the
GUI so that different GUIs can be done in the future (java-gnome, kde
java bindings etc). Writing this in Java is not mandatory but
considering the nature of this program it's a natural fit. One
interesting idea for this is using for example jython to interface with
java-config and then eselect is just a wrapper around that.

Mmm..  Why do I always forget Jython.

Are we aware of other projects/programs that have a similar goal from any of
the other distro's (Im rather gentoo bound)  Ones that just set the active
system (or user) vm for instance?
