The FAQ doesn't literally say »full-time job« but »your primary focus 
this summer«, and Carol Smith (carlos) of Google mentioned it explicitly 
on #gsoc (http://ibot.rikers.org/%23gsoc/20110317.html.gz) and on the 
student guide co-authored by her 
(http://www.booki.cc/gsocstudentguide/_v/1.0/am-i-good-enough/).

P.S.: I'm sure you would be able to come up with something great even in 
a shorter amount of time though, using this opportunity to say thank you 
for plot2kill (for which I just hacked together a Qt backend, I'll let 
you know once I brought it into shape).
