I think it's a very good idea but 
- it needs a good mentor for GSoC which has some vision about the plugin
- it needs probably some list of requirements for it prior to the GSoC
- it needs a student who will understand what we want
Can you mentor it? If so we can draft a proposal and maybe define it in more 
precise terms during the Edu meeting. What do you think?

Best regards,
