Mozilla has recently added a 'student-project' keyword[0] to their bugzilla to identify bugs and RFEs that are good candidates for student projects -- they have a moderate scope (not trivial, but doable in a month or two), they're not release-blocking, and there is an interest in getting them done (the community will help with questions).
I think this is a great idea, and propose we add a similar keyword to the Fedora bugzilla (since it's also the Red Hat bugzilla, the keyword should probably be 'fedora-student-project'). This would be useful for schools seeking student projects[1] and helpful when putting together summer coding ideas[2].
What does the list say?
