I certainly don't object to you doing all the grunt work :-) I have a concrete project, that would be really cool if we'd be able to get it started as a GSoC project: a plugin for JOSM to enable working with Mapillary pictures.
I said I'd like to attempt it (that even made it to WeeklyOSM...), but I'm not able to pull it off. Not being a Java developer and such proves to be more of a handicap, than I had hoped. Me and Holger did outline what we'd like to see implemented in the plugin and we're trying to get started on it, but I'm lacking the ability and he's lacking the time. Still I think a student who does know his way around Java, Eclipse and SVN wouldn't have much trouble doing it and he will certainly be supported by the other developers of JOSM when he asks questions on the mailing list. Do you think such a project makes a good chance to be chosen as a GSoC project? And are we likely to find a student interested in it? (I can look for a student in the university of my home town, and I'm sure I'll meet people who'd be able to do the same in The Netherlands where I'm going to the Missing Maps hackathon tomorrow). Of course, we can look in many universities around the world. I can communicate in English, Spanish, French and even though I cannot really help the student out with development questions, I can do some follow up of the project). I'd also be interested to develop the plugin further and maintain it after the GSoC ends.
