And I can't stress enough: it should be clear to the students that they are merely *ideas* ... starting off points. Students should be encouraged to come up with their own ideas... to be creative. Without that, there will be a lot of cut/paste of idea text, rather than original thought. In any case, the "process" is that students make proposals into a web-based app running on code.google.com (opening May 1st). There is no linkage to projects' ideas lists. Cheers, -g
