Views Projects for Google Summer of Code 2010
Hi all- as you may already know, The Google Summer of Code is about to get started for 2010. At the moment we are trying to come up with ideas that students can craft proposals around, and I was hoping that we could get a few Views related proposals. IMO- nothing can raise your community profile, outside of working a lot on core, like Views related work, and it also happens to be one of the most marketable skills within the thriving Drupal ecosystem. So- it would be great if we could get a couple of Views related projects proposed.
Please, please, please, if you have any ideas for how a student could spend three months working on views related tasks, please add ideas to the Google Summer of Code Group (and consider mentoring as well- it's an awesome way to help out, meet up and coming developers, and increase your standing within the community).
dereine already put forth a few ideas for backends for Views as a wiki on SoC group (http://groups.drupal.org/node/57168 ), which is quoted below. Because that post is a wiki I thought we could move the discussion for his proposal to this thread.
Thanks for chiming in and helping out!

Car Sharing module?
I have been thinking of a module that could be created on Drupal to promote car sharing, or car pooling. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to complete it, at least for this year, so I thought I would throw in a project proposal.
The basic background idea would be something along the lines of the module being used by a website that has a number of participants who travel to the same destination. Examples are universities, colleges, workplaces. Even better examples would be music festivals.
