We don't know what's your experience and what you consider as easy/difficult. So, it's very hard to help you in making your decision unless you have specific / technical questions. Remember, that GSoC projects are not managed in the commercial way. It's you and mentor who agree that a project is completed or not. See Q9 and Q10: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_use_code So, I'd not worry much about making a very detailed timeline plan. For instance WKT Raster driver, as I mentioned in the proposal, the idea is to develop a *prototype*, something that proofs (or not) the concept is feasible and implementation may perform well, something that will be helpful and usable for further development.
