I think this is a great idea. I also participated in GSOC once. I've been particularly interested in coming up with great new applications of Beam to new domains. In chatting with professors at the University of Washington, I've learned that scholars of many fields would really like to explore new and highly customized ways of processing the growing body of publicly-available scholarly documents. This seems like a great project, since we love doing this to Shakespeare's works, and there are thousands of times as many public articles so there's non-toy scale issues. And yet, it does seem like it can be scoped appropriately.
The deadline for a mentoring organization is Feb 9 so let's put together a proposal!
