Cool thing... but what happened last time? Did any project / code from 
the previous SoC went into monotone?

Well, I'm not too familiar with SoC so I don't know how many students do 
see that as a part time thing and how many actually stick to the OS 
project, so finding suitable (smaller) projects to get them "warmed up" 
might be better than huge / complicated tasks.

My idea would be to offer a project to develop a cross-platform mtn GUI 
(this may or may not be build off guitone and/or Qt - I'm open for other 
suggestions as well), while extending the automation interface would be 
a prerequisite for that.
