In short: I think that some more work is required for this proposal.

And really sorry about this opinion as we're definitely cutting it very short 
to the deadline so you don't have much time to research on the different 
topics.

Now some more details:
 - I think you can safely add the data-gathering application to the GSoC 
proposal itself as I think a couple of points are overestimated.
 - "InternetGatewayDevice wrapper module" comes directly from Friedrich mail 
without further details. What do you have in mind there? In fact I think it 
could simply be one new frontend class in libsolid and would then mostly be 
part of the Solid UPnP backend work. Once you got the backend rolling it 
should be fairly trivial.
 - I think that the Plasma Device Notifier is overestimated in the timeline...
 - ... while the Network Neighborhood Plasmoid is likely underestimated.
 - Overall, more details on each of the tasks would be welcome. It'd show that 
you indeed know what work is required.
 - For the details regarding solid itself, hunt me down to get details. But 
apart from those missing details, a mockup for the Network Neighborhood 
Plasmoid would be very welcome.

I'll be around on IRC tomorrow (from 6am to 5pm UTC) if you have more 
questions about solid itself (and I bet you do have such questions).

Regards.
