I also discussed it with Noy and already told him I'm also in favour to
try this. The motivation to do this is like one of the motivations
behind the GSoC project; allow students to work on their project in the
summer instead of doing a dull summer job, which doesn't learn them a
thing but only provides them with money.

IMO the student should not only identify a development path, but also
come up with a proposal. This proposal can then be discussed with the
mentor(s) and turned into a final proposal.
