I agree that it might not be enough and honestly I can't objectively say (yet) whether something could or could not be an appropriate idea (with a sufficient amount of work needed) for GSOC, that's why I asked, so thanks for input. However, there's also something else to consider (not a deal breaker though), given the success overall success ratio we have, maybe this could be a candidate that someone can actually finish on time and merge upstream :P, but as I said, just a different point of view. > > > #2 > > PROJECT: > > Extend node device driver's API set > > This sounds like a viable idea - well defined scope and not too hard I published ^this one. Also, I'm working on publishing another one, but I just have to use the right words.
