I think for GSOC we need to have projects that are at least up 
and running, and provide them with something to work off of.  
This effort (Window Creation/Image Library) stills seems very 
much in the 'conception' phase, and my personal feeling is that 
until the exact goals are fleshed out a bit more it would be a 
shaky platform for a GSOC project.

There is the following project however:

How is that related to what you are proposing?  Maybe Vadim could 
be enticed to sign up as a mentor?

Great. If our application is accepted you will be the first on my 
'Evaluation Committee' list.
