New description:

 == Outline ==
 We currently only have 4 HUD elements:
  * Bar (SpeedBar, etc.)
  * Radar
  * Navigation (shows where the selected enemy is)
  * simple Text

 Your job would be to write new items like different Bars, image sequences
 (to show different weapons) etc, and/or to improve the current HUD
 elements.

 == Framework ==
 At the moment the HUD is implemented as a collection of Orxonox Overlays,
 we want to change that, so you should use CEGUI (which is more powerful).
 More information about the HUD framework can be found [wiki:HUD here].
