Hi Kartik, sorry, we've all been pretty busy over the Weekend – FOSDEM and stuff.
So, I personally think this is a pretty great idea that you should definitely put on the GNU Radio wiki page for GSoC ideas – if someone has a great idea how to improve what you're proposing, it's a wiki for a reason – so frankly, go for it. Notice that it'd be awesome if you putting this on the page also meant that you'd agree to at least partially mentor the student that picks that topic!
