The Nutch PMC discussed ideas for a good 2015 GSoC project. It appears that porting the (trunk) codebase to Hadoop 2.X seems to an attractive option and one which would present an excellent learning experience for a summer student. Essentially this project will involve porting ALL aspects of every class which utilizes the Hadoop 1.X codebase to Hadoop 2.X. A good starting point would be to understand what has already been discussed in the existing JIRA Issues.
