Project Title 1: Menu Creator - program to help with planning meals
by offering recipe suggestions, providing nutritional information,
generating shopping lists, etc.

Local Users: students off meal plan and attempting to cook for themselves

Score
        Useful to others: 4
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 5
        Divisible: 4
        In C++ on Suns: 5

        Overall: 4

Pros:
Could be very useful (having just gone off meal plan, I wish I had a
program like this!), it can be easily scaled up, nothing like this
currently exists for any platform

Cons:
There might be quite a bit of busy work in generating the databases (of
recipes, of nutritional information, etc.) needed

Project Title 2: Wave++ - a programming environment for beginner
programmers, like Wave from CS15 but better

Local Users: students in intro-level CS classes (CS4, CS15/16, CS17/18)
 
Score
        Useful to others: 5
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 4
        Divisible: 4
        In C++ on Suns: 4

        Overall: 4.5

Pros: lots of local users to ask for ideas, test on, etc.

Cons: figuring out what a GOOD programming environment for beginners
should look like might create a whole lot of debate.... (which might be
interesting nonetheless)

Project Title 3: WebReg - a web-based course registration system

Local Users: registrar's office, students

Score
        Useful to others: 5
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 5
        Divisible: 4
        In C++ on Suns: 3

        Overall: 3.5

Pros: lots of local users to test on, can be easily scaled up/down (basic
program might just do registration, more advanced program could print out
class lists for professors, handle weird things like limited enrollment
classes, give out grades on the web...), the registrar's office and lots
of Brown students would be very happy if we actually did this right :)

Cons: this could be really hard (the fact that the registrar's office has
been talking about doing this for ages but hasn't actually implemented it
yet is not encouraging)

Project Title 4: SportsStats - a (hopefully) generic package for keeping
track of the statistics of players on sports teams

Local Users: athletic department

Score
        Useful to others: 5
        Has specific users: 5
        Can be scaled up to PC product: 3
        Divisible: 4
        In C++ on Suns: 5

        Overall:

Pros: all sorts of bells and whistles could be added (graphs, output to
HTML for inclusion on team web pages....)

Cons: might not be terribly exciting to write
