I was going to suggest these too... They would help SWK to catch up with 
its mac counterpart and make it less ridiculous under gnustep :) I am 
not able to mentor such thing though, since I have almost no idea of the 
internals and I remember the discussions between Fred and Nikolaus of it 
not being too easy. Ti was the topic of two *step hacking meetings.

Do you think it is possible to add also certain task of the GAP project? 
Like a native obj-c library for the googletalk xmpp protocol? Or working 
on some of the GAP applications with precise tasks? I could offer 
mentoring again for those. However it is difficult to judge a task that 
spawns 3 months. it depends a lot on the preparation of the student, if 
he starts from ground up or has some cocoa knowledge.
