Project Title 1: chat/animation/magnetic-poetry - madlibs program

Local Users:  Anyone that likes a interactive chat animated type program

Score
        Useful to others: yes  - especially on enjoyable
        Has specific users: yes
        Can be scaled up to PC product: definately
        Divisible:
        In C++ on Suns: yes

        Overall: Definitely doable

Pros:  Can be broken up into a lot of different parts - networking,
parsing, graphics-package… There are a lot of extensions that could be added. 
 For instance the user could define ways for the Computer to place
images, more then one person could be working on the scene - on the same
Frame or on different frames.  

Cons: If it were to be just a chat program it would be too difficult to
create a scene based just on what people were typing without giving them
rules.

Project Title 2:  A photoshop with extensions

Local Users:  Anyone who needs to create some type of art 


Score
        Useful to others: definately
        Has specific users: yes
        Can be scaled up to PC product: yes
        Divisible: yes
        In C++ on Suns:  yes

        Overall: Good

Pros:  There are lots of possible extensions and ways to go with it.
Could have it be able to do design help, and try to make suggestions of
color and formal composition.  Though this program has been done before I
think there is a lot of possibility for coming up with things it does not
offer - like a larger variety of color choosers/models.  Also mini-games
could be inserted to help the user understand color and composition.  

Cons:

Local Users: Anyone enjoy's games

Score
        Useful to others: yes - urban planners
        Has specific users: yes
        Can be scaled up to PC product: already is
        Divisible:
        In C++ on Suns: yes

        Overall: good 

Pros: It can be broken up into a lot of different parts.  There are
possibilities for extensions.  

Cons: Its been done well before, so it is not that necessary to do again,
though the process could be interesting.
