I don't know what kind of project your are looking for but we have an open problem in Nice that could be topic of an project.
Nicec does (dynamic) type inference of local variables but the current implementation is not optimal.
Currently it handles: not null tests, instanceof tests and variables captured in anonymous functions.

We are looking for an algorithm with the following additional requirements:
Take in account assignments (see also this feature request: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=681385&group_id=12788&atid=362788 )
Handle loops correctly, it's currently broken for some cases.
Being not too restrictive about captured variables.

I think it's not a big project but it will be quite complex.
