The project outlined by dons' Ticket #1548 would be interesting to work on

The link is http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1548

FYI, this has a low chance of acceptance, since it benefits few in the Haskell community.

Quite true, the other projects seem to be more useful, so this one isn't worth pursuing (as a gsoc project)?

It didn't get accepted last year, despite a strong candidate, because of its low return to the community.

Forgive my ignorance, but does a "low return to the community" mean that it either is not very useful for say the productivity of a user of xmonad or that it is not interesting to a Haskell programmer?

It doesn't benefit a significant number of Haskell programmers - so Haskell.org is unlikely to fund it. Porting GHC to Arm though, so you can make iphone apps - would benefit them a lot, in contrast (for example)
