Great! :) The problem is three-way: I am attending university and working in ocassional projects for a company (where I develop for Windows Phone) at the same time. All the while I am member of the ScummVM team and I am maintaining two engines when I can. Besides that I'd like to contribute to Subsurface before the summer with bug-fixes and other patches. That's clearly not the case that I am only here for the money. :) I am only proposing this idea for GSoC and not starting it right now because it's quite a bigger task in my opinion and I'd like to work on it with nothing else breaking my concentration. So I could iterate through it's parts as a whole.
