I would say that the main part will be to write / finish the IAX2 code
in OPAL, either new code, or reusing the current code so that all
features that you see in SIP and H.323 are also available for IAX2.

Your first project will be to look the limitations of the current code
and write a document showing what features you have tested, what work is
required to complete them, and what new work is required for new
features (Call Hold, Call Transfer, Registering, Call Forward, ...).

Writing the endpoint in Ekiga is the last part of the project once the
code in OPAL is full functional. Ekiga only contains high-level code.

I would concentrate first on IAX2 in OPAL, then on IAX2 in Ekiga, and
finally perhaps to a refactoring of the accounts code as it is not the
primary purpose of the Google SoC :)
