Hi,

My proposal is to port Google's Web ToolKit [1] functionality to
RubyJS [2]. I think it's more advanced than simply porting the code
from Java to RubyJS, because Ruby doesn't require interfaces, has
open-classes and features meta-programming (limited to "compile-time"
for RubyJS).

I think it's a great opportunity for a student to get attention 
(especially) from Google ;-)

Regards,

   Michael
