I think that /7 is, at least in the form it is currently presented, very difficult as a GSoc project. It appears that it requires someone who is not only up to speed with CartoCSS but also knows enough about HOT work to make hard "what's in and what's out" decisions - quoting from the comments: "rendering ... it's an editorial choice that serve a purpose, so having someone that would take the issues one by one an adding the requested feature on the map would not help ... the challenge about the rendering is a lot in making arbitration in what to render and what not." "some of these improvements need skills not just technical but also a lot of communication..." "We need to ensure that any new tags we are selecting to render are agreed upon by many of the actors in HOT ecosystem including actors out in the field and those involved in activations and OSM communities HOT-francophone communities..." To me this sounds much too broad and too difficult for a GSoc student project. As it currently stands it would only be suitable for a student who is already a long-time HOT "insider".
