AFAIK, we don't 'accept' project ideas, we just propose them. It's left as a task of the potential student to work this idea out into a project proposal, optionally by talking to the person who proposed this idea (although this information seems to be missing from the GSoC page for many projects :-( ). Then, we rate the project proposals. If you haven't already, look at the post from Carlo v Loesch on this mailinglist on the IRC-to-XMPP gateway. > P.S.

Having zero-knowledge makes it all the more interesting! Another interesting aspect of this project is that you can make many users happy, as this project doesn't target one client/server specifically, but all clients. However, these are just my 2 cents :-) cheers, Remko
