I have added these projects to the list.  Take a look at my wording and 
make any changes that you feel are necessary.

I have not added this one.  We discussed this briefly off-list and I 
think we agreed that this might be a bit too difficult for this program.

I am always in support of improving our test infrastructure.  However, 
we're going to need some defined goals to make it project for this program.

If someone wants to look and build up some brief project definitions 
based on ideas they find, I would be happy to review them and add them 
to the list.
