Topical for 2016 perhaps; an analysis of the results of all the modern Summer Olympic Games to date, presented as a multi-tabbed shinydashboard. Breakdowns by country, sport, event, gender, year, etc... Analysis of medal tallies, world-records, games-records, etc... by the same. It's a good chance to produce some really great example graphs out of ggplot2/ggvis/<your flavour>.
This looks like a reasonable starting point (needs cleaning up) and there must be dozens of ways to slice it up and present/analyse it. It would be interesting to see how things have changed over time (major winners, plateau of records, clustering of countries towards their strength sports).
I can't immediately see a package on CRAN that already does this, and if we have some forethought we can include various predictions for the 2016 games.
