Neat idea -- for my STAT430 course I had contemplated the 'pick a CRAN package and make something better' route as well but feared it would be too demanding. Hence very interesting and encouraging to see that it works for you.
In each course I teach, I assign a term project, in groups of 3-4. The topic this quarter was to choose a CRAN package and improve its speed by converting parts to C/C++. Several were really excellent; I've chosen this one to display (with permission), tinyurl.com/yyzmm477
