That wouldn't be a bad project for GSoC as it isn't too large so it means we could actually see some results, And if it was too small, The student could probably do a couple of smaller projects (it being one) then focus on one after the other.
The smaller big project: get its code deployed on the cluster and enabled for all wikis!
Quick reminder:
If you think something would be a good project for a student, put it on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects . I suggest we scope these proposals at about 6 weeks of coding work to ensure we dedicate enough time (out of the 3-month GSoC period) to bugfixing and code review. Past proposals often allotted either no time or about 2 weeks for merging with trunk, pre-deploy code review, and integration. That's not enough.
Basically, if you think a project might take about 2 weeks for you to code, go ahead and put it on that list. Students run into lots of problems, and your 2-week project is someone else's whole summer.
