Hello, I need to make my bachelor thesis in CS and was looking for
ideas for a project to do in Scheme. Do you have any suggestions? Is
there something that needs to be done in Chicken? I'm actually not
very experience and I am learning Scheme right now so it shouldn't be
something too difficult.

Thanks
Daniele

We have collected some ideas here: http://wiki.call-cc.org/wish-list

Do you have any preferred topic or area?

All the best.

Thanks Mario! I don't have a preferred topic. But ideally it should be
something that you can quickly bring to an useful and presentable
state, and then continue incrementally from there. So that I can be
sure to have something to show before graduation date. If there is
somebody available to give some guidance it would also be nice.

Hi Daniele,

In my experience the most important thing is to pick a topic you find
intriguing from the get-go. You'll probably drift toward one such topic
anyway, and if that's actually *off-topic* for your thesis then you'll
be unhappy. Or at least, your advisor will be.

Anyway, whatever project you choose I'm sure the folks on this mailing
list will be happy to help. Some things I personally think it would be
fun to work on are:

- A musical programming tool or an API to communicate with
SuperCollider, PureData, Max/MSP, or the like.
- Algorithmic composition software for generating short stories,
poems, text-based adventures and so on.
- A "recipe analyser" that can take recipes in the zillion different
forms that they take online and normalise (or at least classify)
them, accounting for differences in formatting, units, terminology,
etc. This would be an ML project, probably.

Let us know what you decide on in the end!

Cheers,

Evan

Chicken could really use a Language Server Protocol implementation.

Alternatively, making Chicken faster is probably a gold mine of thesis
material.
