Very nice idea, indeed.

Yes, that would be nice, the only thing I am unsure is whether it
gives
enough work for the period of time for a GSoC project. Personally I
think it is quite easy to implement such a plugin.
The scope of the project is not an issue with respect to GSoc. That
is to be determined by the project itself. Having said that, I
agree. I think we should aim for a fully documented/tested/
functional input plugin as well as the output plugin.

If you're concerned about having work to do, the wording of it could
be something to the effect of:
"Forrest OpenDocument Input and Output Plugins
- "Forrest OpenDocument Input Plugin" enables users to use
OpenDocument files as source files for generating Forrest-based web
sites. This would work similarly to Forrest's OpenOffice.org Plugin's
ability to use OOo files via as source/input files.
- "Forrest OpenDocument Output Plugin" enables users to generate
OpenDocument files, which would be accessible from generating Forrest-
based web sites. This would work similarly to Forrest's FOP/PDF
output system's ability to generate PDF files via Apache FOP.
NOTE: Work has already begun on the Forrest OpenDocument Input
plugin, but it is still considered to be in the early ALPHA stage."
