One idea that comes to mind is to come up with a list of popular OSS projects
that we'd like to see add PostgreSQL support and have students work on
those...
As nice an idea as this is, we'd also need to quickly co-ordinate with
those projects to make sure that there is a semblance of a chance of
having those patches included in their distribution ... I realize that the
Code of Summer program doesn't need a guarantee that the code will be
committed, but if we're going to do something like the above, would rather
see it done for projects that wanted the end results ...

As for finding students, I believe a call on -general and -announce would
probably produce results. I know there's some professors on the lists (most
likely to be on -general...)

Summer of Code projects dont have to revolve around the core project... for
example drupal got like 11 projects last year and bricolage got a few too;
I
got a small list of items that could be looked at that are sort of 3rd
party
projects, should we attempt to collaborate on putting up a list some place?

If nothing else, any of the 'beginner todo' items are likely
candidates, though I suspect none of them individually are enough
work for an entire summer.
If no one beats me to it, I'll try and compile a list of likely TODOs
for this.

Folks,
I've been warned that Summer of Code is coming up again soon. We
need to be
ready with proposals which are officially endorsed by the
PostgreSQL project.
Which means we need:
a) Projects which could be accomplished in a summer, and
b) Students to do them.
We have one or two weeks to get this together. Your help is greatly
desired .. and if you're a CS student hacker reading this, drop me
a line!
