Could this be a valid Google Summer of Code project?

I am about to write a proposal for this summer; my idea was related to
semantic file systems
(in a way to combine my interest in kernel hacking to my current
research interest in information retrieval) and I am still reading
background literature about that.

If there is interest from the community, SEBSD/TrustedBSD would be
another area I would like to work on. In the past I worked a bit
(at a hobbyst level) with SELinux and I have a background in security
and (linux) kernel hacking.


In both cases I am interested in working on FreeBSD during the summer
with or without a Google's grant.

Thanks,
kind regards.
