Dear Mateusz,
The scope and complexity of the project is up to you. Choose something that
you think you can comfortably finish in two months. More often than not,
unexpected problems cause a delay so it's best not to be overambitious in
the project. You can also include a "stretch goal" in case things go better
than planned.
I think basic LaTeX skills are needed for the layout editor, but it may be
possible to write the editor without knowing the details of LaTeX (others
please correct me here if I am wrong).

Hi, I'm a student who would like to work with your organization during
this Google Summer of Code. Few words about me. I study Computer Science
at Warsaw Universitiy of Technology. I've taken part in previous GSoC
where I worked on implementation of whiteboard(protocol and UI) into
XMPP client called Swift(http://swift.im). I also maintain my own
application written in C++ which uses Qt4(http://qpass.sourceforge.net).
Project which I would like to work with is Layout editor and I have few
questions about it. How complex do you want it to be? I haven't got too
much experience with LaTeX is it a big problem? What do you want to get
included in the proposal? Previous year I had to do "teaser" task for
the organization, do you require something similar before applying?
Regards,
Mateusz Piękos
