You should read through that and see what people are saying. One of the big things that will help us decide which application to accept for working on this project will be which one is closest to what our community wants and needs.
Personally I really like the idea of a Mini Mode. I hate applications that are always large and in the way, so having a way of telling any desktop application to be small and only show me useful information is a good idea.
Something else to consider when you actually submit your Summer of Code application on the Google site will be to also talk about potential risks of the project (things that will be hard to do), how you will approach testing/QA, also it's very important to us to make our clients usable and accessible as much as possible.
