Hey Ilgiz, We already have multiple students interested working on the CLI task, but we have no-one for the "REST interface" task yet. It sounds like you would be a great fit for this task.
Ideally, like you have said we could share a lot of the code which parses the docstrings, etc. between the "CLI tool" and "REST interface" project. This means you will also need to spend a lot of time collaborating with other student which will work on the "CLI tool" project. Official GSoC 2012 student applications will open in a few days, which also means we need to start working on the official proposal soon. For now, please register on our ticket tracker ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD) and add a comment to the REST interface task (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-159) which says something like "I'm interested working on this task and I provided more details in my email to [email protected]." Another thing I would like you to do now is to start thinking about how you would implement the project and which framework you would like to use (Twisted, Tornado, ...).
