[Lazarus] Request for student project ideas

[black dog]

Something that I'd like to see, because I use garbage collected
languages mostly, is trying to get the Boehm memory manager working as
the plugin memory manager.

I've tried to do it and failed because I don't know fpc that well, and
although it seems to work on small tests i can't use the unix
library without a segfault.

I don't think it's worthwhile to argue here the benefits of a
garbage collector as it's well documented, but certainly, FPC offering
such a feature, would help make certain categories of
applications more robust , and imo, have the possibilty of attracting
many more developers, particularly java developers, as you get the
write once compile everywhere and gc which is really all java ever
offered.
