GSOC is a great program. I'm sure that we could come up with some simple but impressive projects using GWT. It might be a chance to update some of the examples for 2.6+ or 3.0 as well :) It would also help get some feedback on the examples/tutorials which is always a good thing. I'd be willing to promote it / present here locally via my GDG.
