    I would recommend a project that has you working at the LLVM IR
    level.  Fixing bugs or adding a new analysis or optimization pass
    may be a good project.<br>
    <br>
    Another good project might be to improve our documentation.  I've
    noticed over the years that most of our documents are reference-like
    in manner.  When I start teaching students how to use LLVM, I direct
    them to three difference documents.  It might be good to have a
    "Getting Started with Programming with LLVM" guide to help new
    students learn how to get started with using the infrastructure.<br>
