Brainstorming cannot be a GSoC project, there should be code produced to be 
part of GSoC. I personally doubt a student can do the brainstorming part, from 
a GSoC point of view. Except if you find a student who is well aware of the 
idea on what we want!
For GSoC we need:
- dedicated mentor(s)
- precised instructions on what to code

In my opinion, we can put this as GSoC if we have another mentor to help 
Sebastian (as for me, I won't be available in July and August so I don't think 
I can be very helpful in mentoring, before that I'll help as much as I can) 
and if we define the lib at the KDE-Edu meeting (maybe with the help of 
teachers or we could try to make a survey or something else in order to get 
feedback). It is doable and it is an excellent idea, we only need to have it 
ready at the beginning of GSoC!
