Nope, and we already ran two such projects (install script, configuration). I'm thinking of proposing a follow-up project for the unit test framework.

I guess technically, that would be allowed. But I'm not sure if it would be such a good idea.

IMO, a GSoC project should focus on one area / idea. Also, a cobbled-together project probably isn't too attractive. The cobbled-together Spam-X project we tried for the last 2 years wasn't so great.

I know there's a bit of a hole between GSoC sized and Code-In sized projects, but that's probably something we could throw a bounty at.
