+    <b>Description of the project:</b>
+    After instruction selection LLVM uses the MI (Machine Instruction)
+    representation for programs. We recently added support for reading and
+    writing this representation to disk
+    (<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/MIRLangRef.html">http://llvm.org/docs/MIRLangRef.html</a>). Usage of this format for writing
+    tests is growing and so is the desire to improve the format, tools and
+    workflow. Possible projects:
+  </p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>Create a single consistent format instead of the current mix of YAML + IR + MIR</li>
+    <li>Helper passes: Strip IR information, rename blocks and values, debug information, extract functions or blocks...</li>
+    <li>Create a bugpoint mode (or a new tool) to reduce .mir test cases</li>
+    <li>Create tool to remove unnecessary information from existing tests</li>
+  </ul>
