First, is such collaboration possible? And if it is, what is still unimplemented amongst the desired features?
More helping hands are always welcome ! We already have a GSoC application (and one submitted student proposal which is concentrating on the API and verious plugins mentioned in this thread), but that does not mean you can’t make your own proposal ! As for the thinnest of all areas, that must be the Qt GUI, and our current proposal is also more plugin oriented.

Also, regardless of GSoC I’d like to see some contributors/volunteers ! The reason the code/app is not in extras-devel is that it’s all too easy to brick yourself with incorrect power management or network settings, but if you’re a developer, it’s not that much of an issue and a lot of stuff *can* be done even on desktops (Qt FTW) so join in to make the project ready for Extras !
