I don't think so.. when I mean msnp13 i mean full msnp13, and that is
one huge ass job if you ask me (yes it includes shared folders). It also
includes essentially rewriting the whole protocol handling, getting a
more unified way of handling messages (like file tranfer, DP transfer,
etc.)

So is xml2gui a good idea or not, not sure what you think according to
above text :)

yes i was not sure on those project, IIRC you had a lot done on the
farsight stuff and jonne on the dbus extension.

So you are saying: give the student what we have, let him create what we
don't have yet and make everything organized and clean?

Students can apply to proposals, not to projects if i understand
correctly, that is why we need to have proposals. Also there aren't many
sponsors for the project so not a lot of students can participate, I
think we should be glad if we got one. Anyway we can still keep
proposals if they don't get done. Throughout the year we can remove/add
others and next year we will apply to both google's SoC and this one
again, etc :P
