Great idea. Is there also a summer of editing or article building?

IMHO we should be putting more effort into brilliant vandalism detection and rollback
This area is ripe for exploration. Has anyone looked into "Summer of Code" type projects for this sort of thing? The signatures for the great majority of vandalism are not difficult to understand.
I was a student and a mentor in summer of code and I think this is an ideal project for this program. I'm not sure if the wikimedia foundation is taking part in the next summer of code, but this should certainly be considered. I think you'll have no dirth of excited cs students to take on some of the more elaborate or time consuming coding projects, however, you do need to find someone to run and organize this program.
