I applaud the NYT for opening itself up like this, and for giving these students a seriously cool project to work on. Who knows how many of their ideas will actually be practicable? But at least the NYT is expressing intellectual curiosity and submitting itself to examination. And it's willing to be examined by a segment (college students) that few other media organizations would take very seriously.

Also, apropos of nothing, kudos to these kids for sneaking a Pied Piper logo into one of their pages. :)
