[gnome-love] google summer of code

[Joost van der Hoff <2noob2banoob gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm interested in participating in gsoc, and my eye has fallen on Gnome 
as preferred mentoring organization. I am curious if any ideas are 
already known. I've also got an idea of myself, but I doubt if I have 
the expertness to implement it. My idea is adding visual feedback to 
mouseover events for menubar buttons, tabs etc... of course this would 
mean modifications to gtk+ and I do not yet have a lot of experience 
with it. Anyone please tell me if this is a good idea or not and if some 
other ideas are already known within the community.
Another issue: I will be going on a holiday during the summer for 1 or 2 
weeks, not in the neighbourhood of any wifi hotspots. It would be nice 
to know if this would require me to buy a dongle for mobile internet (in 
other words do I need to be online) and if yes how many MB's of data 
exchange I should expect. If I know this in time I can already search 
for a good offer (I'm not going to buy it until I know whether or not 
I'll be accepted). Can anyone give me an indication of desired internet 
activity of gsoc students?

Joost
