I don't see the Lucne idea being a problem.  When we submit our 
application we will have some number of proposed projects.  When 
students apply, they can propose their own ideas.  If we are accepted, 
Google will allocate us some number of "slots" then we work together to 
match slots with students.

I'm not trying to game the system, but after reading through the 
material (faq, SoC Google Group,  etc.  I don't see a real need to be 
"under an umbrella", all we need to demonstrate is that we have a 
legitimate project and that we're actually the people associated with 
this project.  For most of the possible projects, I think we can easily 
do that between by pointing to the appropriate projects listed on 
LuaForge.  We can always add someone as a project member to the 
appropriate Lua Forge project.  Not to minimize this issue, but the more 
important one is to put together a good application.

Hmmm....listing the URL would've been a good idea...

To better conform to naming conventions on the wiki, I've moved the page to

http://lua-users.org/wiki/GoogleSummerOfCodeIdeas


and I will put some ideas there, soon, real soon, I promise, if this 
whole pesky day-job thing would let up...
