We have updated the idea list, the new version is here http://www.bluez.org/development/gsoc/gsoc-ideas-list-2012/ The new ideas might interest you too. And yes, you are on the right path, understand the code and the specification is a good start. After to choose your idea talk to our mentors to start working on a GSoC proposal to detail what you are plan during the summer. Gustavo
