My take on it is if you want to tackle it, the thing to do is identify what "pieces" are needed for a successful solution. In all likelyhood, those pieces will be individually useful and worth doing. So if you can "code complete" in the sense of building up working sub-pieces of the total system needed for surface/surface intersection, that would be a great way to proceed even if you don't get all the way to the full surface/surface intersection before the end of GSoC. Remember, also, that you now have quite a lot more experience with NURBS than the average GSoC student, so you aren't "starting from scratch" the way most students would be. My advice would be to read the papers, identify a plan, and run it by us. Even if you can't get all the way there before the next semester starts, doing work that can be used towards the eventual solution would be very helpful.
