Good idea. In fact there are quite a few little projects that could be 
done in this way. And we could also do with some new coders in the 
fields, some new ideas and a few small experiments IMO.

This year Ubuntu had two Google SoC projects, but next year I'd like to 
see a separate accessibility FOSS org apply so we can get 6-8 projects 
going. We could ask gnome, mozilla, OOo etc. to set aside two places 
each and coordinaate those or we could do it with an organisation like 
OATSoft (or a hybrid of those).
