Adding support to TuxPaint for the Leap Motion controller might be a cool
project idea, since you've already done some work with it, that might be a
quick thing to add, so you might suggest that plus adding other features to
TuxPaint.

For all potential students...
Figure your project should fill the entire coding period, working about
35-40 hours a week on it, so you can make a lot of progress in that amount
of time.  Make sure your proposal(s) contain a timeline of what you plan to
complete each week.  Also note any potential conflicts such as class or
vacations, or internships that might interfere with the GSoC coding period.

Also for all the students new to this list, I posted a general reply a few
days ago, here's the link:

Dig into the source code, learn how it works.  Familiarize yourself with
any required supporting libraries etc.  We only have a few mentors, so it
won't be possible to respond to all the emails we get from potential
students.
