I'd suggest creating a page on the qemu.org wiki and start collecting 
ideas.  I'd strongly suggest that all ideas are constructed like a 
release feature and have an appropriate wiki page.

I think the key to success with a student project is to have a wide 
range of success criteria.   If people post ideas to a common wiki page, 
we can review them and come up with a set of suggested items.
