Hi all, Sorry to interfere (I'm not involved with this project), but I guess if this project is very large and the ideas page has been refreshed, then it can be split into GSoC-worthy portions over the summer among interested applicants? That way, it benefits the project. As long as it doesn't appear to be teamwork, and can be split into chunks that don't depend on another person's work, it should be in keeping with GSoC's rules as well.
