Hi Sam Thanks for your interest in working on aptitude during GSoC.
Personally I am only new to the project and not a Debian Member, I think this makes me unsuitable as a mentor. Other people on this list may step up. In that case please consider my comments below.

There are some lists [1,2,3] which, whilst somewhat out-of-date, still contain many useful ideas. You might consider: 1. Fix the tree code (many short-comings that need addressing) [2] 2. Use a parser generator to build the matcher parsing. [1] which together would constitute a decent project. Design would be a heavy element of 1.
