That's only ideas list, it's up to you to come with proposal for GSoC
and we then choose only the best proposals.

At least editing and displaying types nicely. Adding some search
interface would be handy as well.
Hi Michal,
Thanks for the clarifications.
I will research more on data types, functions of OpenGIS to get a thorough understanding on them. Meanwhile I'll come up with a set of features for the GSoC proposal based on the suggestions you made.
Further I will submit patche(s) as proof of concept for one or two small features I wish to implement under GSoC.
P.S: Thanks for coming up as the mentor for this project idea. :)

The scope should be defined by time you have for GSoC - 12 weeks and
you are expected to spend 40 hours a week on it.
