Linux will never be complete. We need you. I have a list of
projects just waiting for people like you:

http://www.cs.uml.edu/~acahalan/linux/wishlist.html (bookmark this)
http://www.cs.uml.edu/~acahalan/linux/22wishlist.html (most recent)

Contrary to popular belief, the list is not intended to be a laundry
list of whiny complaints. Those in need of an interesting project
might want to take a look. Hopefully I will update it this weekend.

WARNING: some of the projects are damn near impossible. Some of the
projects that look easy could be much harder than they look.
