Sending from phone, please pardon errors. There are projects that use gsoc for docs and the like. I would see nothing wrong with someone contributing code to the installer -- especially someone with less familiarity with p9 than most 9fans -- they will likely taake longer than 1-2 weeks. Additionally it might be a good opportunity to get someone interested who doesn't have C skills, which is something we have been historically awful at in GSoC.
