[Haskell-cafe] Suggestions for an empirical master thesis

Hi, everyone! I'm looking for a master thesis topic that is empirical in nature (like, statistics, hypothesis testing, etc.). The work could involve analyzing either package metadata (Cabal information), code (AST), and/or data from some other source, possibly comparing similar data from some non-Haskell domain. As an example, one idea that was suggested to me was to look at usage aggregation, or like, how much of a given package another package is actually using (which could be relevant in any orphan-instance discussion). From an academic standpoint, it would be good to pick a metric that can be validated in some way. Thank you! Best, Jon
