-- title: "Scaladoc Search in Protosearch"
-  description: "Protosearch offers an in-browser search experience for documentation. This project aims to add support for Scaladoc, the documentation system for Scala code. As a result of this work, searching for `flatMap` on the cats-effect documentation, for example, would return hits from the tutorial and the relevant method in the Scaladoc."

+# difficulty: Easy / Medium / Hard. what will the tricky parts be?
+# length: short / medium / long (90 / 175 / 350 hours)

+- title: Machine learning inference in Cats Effect
+  description:
+    We want to make it possible to deploy machine learning inference as part of a larger web service without compromising the latency of other on-going requests. The goal of this project is to create a compiler to transform a pre-trained ML model into a sequence of Cats Effect `IO` steps that perform inference on some input.
+  prereqs: Scala, ideally some experience with ML
+  difficulty: Hard but doable. Will draw on knowledge of ML and compilers.
+  length: long
+  mentors: [armanbilge, djspiewak, ekrich, valencik]
+  categories: [AI, web, programming languages]

+- title: "Streaming msgpack implementation"
+  description: "The [msgpack](https://msgpack.org/) data format allows for efficient binary serialization of data. It would be great to have the ability to parse, transform, and emit data in a streaming fashion using FS2 in the [fs2-data](https://fs2-data.gnieh.org) library."
+  prereqs: Scala, ideally some experience with FS2 and parsing
+  difficulty: Medium. 
+  length: medium

-- title: "Fluent library for files and processes"
-  description: "The `fs2.io.file` package is powerful, but using it in small scripts can involve boilerplate. This project aims to create a fluent library for working with files and processes in Scala. A particular focus will be easy integration with the Typelevel Toolkit"

+- title: Fluent library for files and processes
+  description:
+    FS2 has powerful APIs for streaming I/O but using it in small scripts can involve boilerplate. This project aims to create a fluent library for working with files and processes in Scala. A particular focus will be easy integration with the [Typelevel Toolkit](https://typelevel.org/toolkit).
+  prereqs: Scala, interest in Functional Programming
+  difficulty: Medium.
+  length: medium
+  mentors: [toniogela, zetashift]
+  categories: [programming languages]
+
+- title: Serverless integrations for Feral
+  description:
+    Feral is a Typelevel library for building serverless functions that currently supports AWS Lambda. We want to support other cloud providers, such as Google, Cloudflare, and Vercel.
+  prereqs: Scala, interest in Functional Programming, ideally experience with serverless
+  difficulty: Medium.
+  length: medium
+  mentors: [armanbilge]
+  categories: [cloud, programming languages]
+
+- title: Native I/O backend for FS2 JVM
+  description:
+    FS2 on the JVM currently implements its networking API using JDK NIO. Unfortunately this indirection incurs a non-trivial performance penalty. We want to replace the use of JDK NIO with direct calls to system I/O APIs such as `epoll` and `kqueue`.
+  prereqs: Scala, ability to read C
+  difficulty: Medium.
+  length: long
+  mentors: [antoniojimeneznieto, djspiewak, armanbilge]
+  categories: [operating systems, programming languages]
+
+- title: Production-ready io_uring interop layer
+  description: A GSoC 2023 project prototyped a new networking I/O layer for FS2 based on the Linux io_uring syscall interface that improved the performance of HTTP servers by more than 3x. Now we need help to make this production-ready by writing code to interoperate with io_uring from the JVM.
+  prereqs: Java or Scala, ideally some experience with C and JNI
+  difficulty: Medium.
+  length: long
+  mentors: [antoniojimeneznieto, djspiewak, armanbilge]
+  categories: [operating systems, programming languages]

+- title: "Streaming implementation of an XQuery subset"
+  description: "XQuery allows for transforming XML data in a declarative way. Based on the generic streaming query engine added into the [fs2-data](https://fs2-data.gnieh.org) library, write a frontend to implement a streamable subset of XQuery."
+  prereqs: Scala, ideally some experience with XQuery
+  difficulty: Hard. 
+  length: long
