I am currently negotiating to get access to the source code for a program
called "CC" (no, it isn't a C compiler) to use in an SE project.  It's a
real existing program with a real user base and a real performance problem
that I hope we may be able to do something about.  I expect that I and my
students will learn a lot from working with it, even though it is moderately
small.  I am *really* looking forward to having real code for my students to
work with.  I know my other colleagues at RMIT feel the same way and are
also looking for real projects in their respective areas.
