Ideas for small projects

These would make good MS or BS projects.

Difficulty MS/BS	Idea	Resources
BS or MS	Implement hp2ps in blank canvas. Have it dynamically read the hp2ps information during runtime and/or compare graphs.	[hp2ps-api] (https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.2.2/docs/html/users_guide/hp2ps.html)
MS	Implement a parser for Core in HERMIT. Ideally, would parse the format of HERMIT's existing 'clean' pretty printer, such that parse . prettyPrint == id. Can change the pretty printer if necessary to resolve ambiguities.	Core Spec
BS or MS	Add a ':h' command to GHCi that automagically looks up and displays the haddock documentation for a function or type. Also would be nice to hoogle things from GHCi. See https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2168	GHCi-api
BS	Invent a Minecraft monad, and connect it to a Minecraft server
BS or MS	Work on improving story board to replace beamer
MS	Add a Wakarusa case study / example
BS or MS	Add a Scotty capability for dynamic/real-time form reading. ^R should refresh/reload everything. Based of incremental deltas to state
