Feel free to look through the list below for a project that looks interesting (or useful to use). You can take a look at the bugtrackers linked to get a sense of what improvements they could use, to help decide what seems interesting to work on. You should probably talk with somebody active in the project before really digging in, though – often people have been batting around designs or know details of the problem that haven't gotten written down. If you don't know who to ask, feel free to ask somebody in our office, zephyr -c sipb, or email sipb@mit.edu – somebody can point you in the right direction. +
