+- title: FS2 Connection API
+  description:
+    TCP-based protocols are common (e.g. HTTP, Postgres, Redis) and are implemented by clients to interface with these services (e.g. Ember, Skunk, Rediculous). The goal of this project is to create a "connection" API that supports pooling, error conditions, and metrics and can be shared by all of our client libraries.

+- title: Cats Effect & FS2 on WASM/WASI
+  description:
+    Web Assembly and its System Interface are emerging technologies for deploying secure, modular applications. The goal of this project is to prototype porting the Cats Effect runtime and FS2 streaming I/O to the Wasm/WASI platform, also possibly generating feedback for the Scala WASM and WASI teams.
+  prereqs: Scala, ideally some experience with Wasm/WASI
+  difficulty: Hard. Wasm/WASI support in Scala is experimental.
