That's good. 
I suggest you create a new thread with these thoughts. When you have something 
concrete I can pick it up and add it to the website. 

There are two general deadlines:

Jan 23 is the deadline for mentoring organizations 'applications. From then 
Google staff may look at the proposals pages. However, as we are only part of 
GNU I don't think one project more or less is terribly important. 

Feb 12 the participating organizations will be announced. So from then students 
will browse the GSoC site and may land on our page. So by then we should have 
all the information online. 

Best
Urs
