We have had successful project that were not meant for inclusion into
DragonFly - I think there was a networking one our first year, for
instance.  I only bring this stuff up because we can end up with tasks
that are based more around what features people want to see in
DragonFly, rather than what tasks are appropriate for college students
to tackle in a summer session.  Imagine a Venn diagram with only some
overlap.

It's a minor point, and I'm sorta wandering away from the topic, so
this distinction may not really be worth pursuing farther than this.
