I have two ideas that I think could be good. Like to try them on the list before putting them on the wiki

Next generation sensor networks and services
Peter W and I is working on a new set of XEP's for creating interoperable flow of data for the Internet Of Things with the whole chain of deploying devices and connecting services
The project would implement the proposed XEP's and create services utilizing open sensor networks for energy services, support elderly, internet of sports.
