gedit is a plain text editor and I don't think it is a good idea to make
it displaying  graphs, equations, etc.

If you want to propose a gedit related project for GSOC I think you can
find great ideas on http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins.

For example, it would be very nice to have a "no distraction" mode
similar to WriteRoom (http://hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom).

Another very nice project could be to write one or more plugins to solve
the "typing sucks" problem... i.e. to allow the users to write more text
in less time.

Paolo
