Scala selected as GSoC mentoring organization!

The Scala project has been selected as a Google Summer of Code mentoring organization. Students, check out our list of project ideas (or come up with your own), post to the mailing lists, and start preparing your applications! Instructions on how to get started are on the ideas page.

Another project idea is a Scala Wrapper for the Wicket web framework. With Scala anonymous inner classes could be replaced with more beautiful closures and the componenten structures of pages could be build with less boilerplate code.

I think Scala needs another popular web framework besides Lift, because Lift doesn't attract non-Scala developers so much.

Another (crazy) idea: what about a reimplementation of Drupal in Scala?

http://drupal.org/

Or more generally: a content management system that's really easy to setup but also flexible and easy to customise (using a plugin system / module in Drupal terminology)
