digitalmars.D - GSoC: interested in participating

Hi.

I'm currently studying at University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik in 
Košice, Slovakia
and I'd like to participate in this year's GSoC. I'm especially 
interested
in D as I'm currently using it for my projects (I'm the author of 
D:YAML - YAML
parser/emitter library for D 
(https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML)).

That said, I don't think I have required knowledge to handle any 
of the
projects at http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GSOC_2012_Ideas .

At previous year's GSoC ideas page
(http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GSOC_2011_Ideas),
I found the "Image Processing" idea, which I'd be interested in 
doing.

I encountered the lack of any good image library in D before
and I think the D community could benefit from such a library
(I even think it could be useful to have such a library in 
Phobos).

I'm mainly interested in loading/writing multiple image formats, 
but if required,
basic image processing could also be part of the project.

Is anyone here willing to mentor such a project?
