Also, please try to make sure any ideas are something that could easily get done by a student in a summer (so, perhaps, it is something you could do in a month of work).
Then I have to forget half of my ideas : in most case I'm not sure  
of anything. Some ports might look easy (small apps), but will  
involve a lot of CF conversion. I agree : some of my suggested  
projects might be huge for one student. But for 2 ? And I could  
keep on the work when the summer will gone for some of these  
projects in which I'm interested.
I'm sure nobody could port OpenOffice in a summer. But this project  
might lead to some CoreFoundation compatible functions :)
I fear it isn't very encouraging to start a project if you already  
know it isn't doable in the given time frame. If you plan for 4  
weeks, however, you still often have to rush to get done in 2 months.  
There are quirks, there are unexpected bugs, there are unforseen  
delays and average students are usually no GNUstep experts. Better a  
small thing done well and debugged than yet another half baked, dust  
assembling pile of code.
You are working on CoreData? How about a student coworker doing a  
CoreData <-> PostgeSQL backend?
