Done, thanks :)

Then I have to forget half of my ideas : in most case I'm not sure of 
anything. Some ports might look easy (small apps), but will involve a 
lot of CF conversion. I agree : some of my suggested projects might be 
huge for one student. But for 2 ? And I could keep on the work when the 
summer will gone for some of these projects in which I'm interested.

I'm sure nobody could port OpenOffice in a summer. But this project 
might lead to some CoreFoundation compatible functions :)
Porting WebKit would also be a huge task.

Should I leave some of my ideas ? OpenOffice ? Gecko ?

I work on GNUstep since months and I only start to (mis)understand some 
 small parts. Students might be smarter than I'm, but nobody is very 
efficient in debugging/enhancing an unknown program.
Well, I'm not :\
