I guess the original proposal was to start this effort as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project during next summer. That would give us a dedicated student working on the code, but we'd need to have someone from the PDFBox team who's ready to invest enough time and effort in mentoring the student through the summer. I've been a GSoC mentor a few times before, and it's quite rewarding especially if you have a motivated and skilled student to work with. However, effective mentoring does require consistent effort through the summer (I estimate some 2 hours per week) and unfortunately at least I can't promise to have enough extra cycles for that this year.
