Well, we say that HelenOS is easy to learn, so two weeks might be enough
;-). But seriously: I think it is possible to start coding in HelenOS if
you know it for two weeks only. The question is whether you can make a
reasonable guess about timeline after such short involvement.

Anyway, you can always contribute to HelenOS even outside GSoC.

I know very little about formal verification but I think that if you want
to do formal verification you do not need to have the compiler ported to
HelenOS. IMHO you can do that even when LLVM is cross-compiling for HelenOS
from within Linux.

For that, I think that you want to extend LLVM to understand HelenOS
behaviour better rather than making LLVM runnable inside HelenOS.

Formal verification is definitely one of them. There are a lot of other
topics where HelenOS could be used for demonstration (if properly
extended), such as distributed OS, isolation of individual components or
real-time features.

However, the right person to ask is Martin Decky. He might extend the list
above and also give you more details.

Cheers,
