I know I've mentioned this in the past, outside of the mailing list, but 
if the author of http://seancode.com/webventure/ (Sean Kasun) is open to 
the idea, porting that engine to ScummVM might be a good project. 
Particularly now that the games themselves are being sold by Zojoi. 
(They appear to be using this very engine, actually, along with disk 
images for the Mac and Apple II versions of the games. Though extracting 
the disk images is a bit of work.)

His engine doesn't seem to be under any particular license, so obviously 
we'd need his approval to use that code directly, and asking would seem 
like the polite thing even if we just used his description of the file 
formats.

(To clarify, I'm not volunteering to be a mentor, but you did say you 
wanted ideas for possible projects.)
