I believe working on whiteboard could be a suitable idea. At least, I don't have any better thought up at this moment.
I don't think whiteboard is a good candidate, because the real solution for whiteboard is to move to a framework like Telepathy so that is can work with Bonjour. The core problem is the lack of support by Jabber servers, and getting around them is key. Also, by supporting a protocol like SXE we can hopefully get Jabber server support in the future.
I think that an interesting hackontest would be to convert the canvas over to Cairo. While that seems simple in many ways, it also involves switching all the colors from RGBA to BGRA, which will be tricky and a good project.
Also, it would be nice to push the filter rendering into Cairo. I know that the swfdec project needs them there also.
