<title>SCPS, Space Communication Protocol Standards</title>
<desc><p><a href="http://www.scps.org">SCPS</a> is a protocol suite
designed to allow communication over challenging
environments. Originally developed jointly by NASA and
DoD's USSPACECOM, these protocols are used for commercial,
educational, and military environments. A student project
in this area would involve implementing various network
protocols according to specification (SCPS File Protocol,
similar to FTP; SCPS-Transport Protocol, based on TCP; and
others.)</p>

<title>Multibyte collation support</title>
<desc>
<p><strong>Technical Contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:dds@FreeBSD.org">Diomidis Spinellis</a></p>
<p>Currently FreeBSD supports only single byte collation. Multibyte
collation support would be nice.</p>
collation support would be nice. This might involve implementing
the Unicode Collation Algorithm (see <a
href="http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/">http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/</a>),
writing a tool to compile the Default Unicode Collation Element
Table (<a
href="http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest">http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest</a>)
into an efficient lookup format, and integrating the corresponding
conformance tests (<a
href="http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/CollationTest.html">http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCA/latest/CollationTest.html</a>)
into the FreeBSD regression testing framework.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Proper national sorting in UTF-8 and other multibyte locales.</li>
