You really think Google summer of code is going to sponsor development of iPhone compatibility? :)  Not that I wouldn't welcome this with open arms...

They accepted our application and we have considerable freedom to choose our projects.

Congratulations!

Concerning projects, what about my Mono-D project - I am a student actually, so I really would like to contribute to D community by going on with developing this IDE (plugin), just with the difference that I'm also doing it for the GSoC event? I mean, plenty of stuff (like relatively nice code completion [yeah, advertising oneself sucks, I know]) has been done so far - but another plenty of things are left to-do, so why not doing them within those 3 months? :)

I think you just need to find someone who can mentor the project and there'd be no problem in doing this at all.

Pretty much the only thing that is definitely off limits is work on non OSI-approve licenses, which unfortunately includes the DMD backend (to my understanding, I am not a lawyer).

Walter / Andrei? Hmm ok, I probably should mail them, or what do you recommend me to do?

GSoC generally has a pretty well-defined protocol of how student applications work. You might want to peruse the official student material on the GSoC site and/or some of the countless experience reports.

We'll see what happens. It can't hurt to have as an idea.
