Hi all,
So the mentoring organisations for this year's Google Summer of Code has
 been announces and its quite delighting to see Openmoko to be one of
the   mentoring organisations that will participate this year. To that
end I have a couple of questions.

1.) I have been working on the python-openmoko project[1], and was
wondering if its possible to extend that as part of the GSoC. The main
concern is that creating bindings for libraries that use the glib
library is pretty easy and I am not entirely sure if it would qualify as
a GSoC project on its own. However assuming that we have some more
middle ware libraries on our way, I guess its enough to keep me busy
during the summer creating example apps, documenting the library. etc.

2.) One of the main parts of the OM stack I am familiar with is the
"libgsmd" library on which we already has a little discussion[2] in the
gsmd lists. I feel work on libgsmd (or its replacement) should be the
top priority now and based on the discussions at the gsmd list I note
that its too early to port pygsmd (by emdete) to a C project based on
the OTAPI specs. One of the reasons[3] cited was the incomplete muxer
support. Is it possible to fix that over time and start working on ophoned.
