Hey, that's great thanks. I would really appreciate if everyone reading this list could just write their ideas here for what the project should focus on.
I have no problem with working on new components (like GSOC 2010) or some other functionalities. IMO I think that this project should focus on something that will be useful for the vast majority of users. Please feel free to discuss the ideas I wrote in the prev email, or I could elaborate them in more detail if needed.
