On the top of my head:
 * generate Swagger [1] descriptions for Seaside-REST services (*)
 * generate WADL [2] descriptions for Seaside-REST services (*)
 * try to bridge React [3] and Seaside components
 * see if it's possible to serialize Seaside sessions using Fuel and
store them in memcached or similar
 * write a Passbook library for Seaside. Bonus points for updating the
ESUG application to hand out Passbook passes.

(*) The URL part should be easy, types can be tricky. If you have some
parameter called "aNameString" you can probably assume it's a string.
Bonus points for integrating with Magritte-JSON or Magritte-XML.
