No. Not at all. Applications just started.

If you want to work on supporting ND images, you could work on the
functions for image registration and geometric transformation. I have
also though about creating an ND image class, something that allows
indexing with channel or wavelength names for example. Those are
things that are not part of my project but I'm unsure if they're
enough work for another full proposal.

We have a list of the stuff missing in the image package [1], Octave
projects [2], and GSoC project ideas [3].

Some simpler things that may help you in getting started (from my todo
list of stuff that is not in my GSoC project) are:

* ND support in padarray (seems to already be working. Test and document)
* implement bwareaopen (should be very easy. Possibly making use of bwconncomp)
* make the Hough transform functions matlab compatible
