plugin development as part of MSc project

Hello,

I am new to this group. I love Ruby on Rails. I am planning to develop a rails plugin as part of my MSc project (which needs to be finished by the end of October). Initially I thought of developing a plugin which would automatically generate HTML templates. But, I think Markaby has already achieved it in a way that the developer doesnot have to learn HTML and CSS separately. I am just playing around with different ideas. Can anybody suggest what might be a simple plugin or extending an existing one for MSc project?

Thanks.

Mashups are always a good bet - look for something with a recently released api and make a rails interface plugin for it? The BBC for example recently released a REST-based api for their VAST library of content and services. There's lots of interesting stuff being done with it already.
