Sounds like a great student project. However, the format for project 
ideas has been significantly tightened recently and so therefore the 
scope for copying old GSoC ideas reduced. In particular, ideas ought 
to have a programming competency test written with someone willing to 
mark it (usually the volunteer mentor(s)).

We also need someone to step forward and volunteer to mentor such a 
project. Would you?
