Hi Assim, We were thinking about participating at Google Summer of Code as a mentoring organization, but had to give up this idea as it is not compatible with the Android Developer's Challenge. I guess similar constraints apply to other organizations so that you may not easily find an open source project that deals with Android. Or did you intend to have Google as a mentor directly?
In any case, our project, OpenIntents, also started to work on a general AlertProvider - to set arbitrary intents upon specific events. We have some internal discussion on this here, if you are interested, have a look: http://groups.google.com/group/openintents/browse_frm/thread/ff49d7bf1db83cf2# http://groups.google.com/group/openintents/browse_frm/thread/c54e1ffe132a42b1# Your ideas may fit in very well, so feel free to join our discussion there.
