Hi Lucian Thanks for your suggestion for GSOC work with ASCEND. I think that porting to Mac should be done without creating a new GUI, if possible. I think that writing a whole new GUI is outside the realm of what's possible in 2 months of coding.
What I *would* like to see is some efforts towards getting ASCEND running on Mac via GTK+. GTK+ on Mac still has some problems, many of which look like they could still be pretty serious, see here: http://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX You might be able to asses how serious these barriers they really are, and work out whether you think you might be able to achieve something or not.
