Re: Idea page for GSoC

I added some more to this, and I pushed it to the top of the list. (I 
thought it was quite hidden at the bottom, and I think we should really 
encourage this project path this summer, so that we get some really 
great demos).

I'm going to work on links to the asset options.

If you have ideas, or would like to refine this at all, please feel 
free to hack at it! :)
