New description:

 Orxonox at the moment, can only discover servers that operate in the same
 LAN. Your task would be to establish a protocol to discover servers all
 over the internet.

 For that we would need a deamon on our orxonox.net server where other
 servers could register themselves and a protocol to contact the
 orxonox.net server and get a list of the servers that have registered
 themselves there.

 This is a job for someone who already knows a bit about network
 programming. This task will probably involve analyzing other protocols
 (used for this task) and using enet to implement an orxonox version of
 such a protocol.
