All of this was written under the assumption that the synfig engine could 
somehow be utilized with relatively ease from e.g. MLT.

A gui in kdenlive would be limited to say text and picture elements, with some 
basic animation built in. That was my idea anyway, not the full monty.

Probably pictures loaded from disk

I think so, but it deserves a discussion.

And, back to the topic, should we try to get accepted as an organization in 
SoC?

I don't mind writing a proposal, but I need some people to commit to be 
mentors, re the "rules" for GSoC.
