That would be awesome for many reasons: Visibility, moving projects
forward of course, bringing new people to the community etc.

Worth mentioning the deadline is February 19th:

Looking at the list all of them sounds really interesting projects,
particularly the ones in the Brainstorming section.

My only concern is that these projects are defined too high-level to be
approached by a student in the GSoC timeline

Also it comes to my mind that some previous GSoC projects didn't went
live due to various reasons. Do we understand what went wrong and how to
avoid making the same mistakes?

I think this is a great GSoC project as it has a well known roadmap, as
well as being quite visible to the end user.

That would be great! Even though the code app base is not the great or
most interesting.
