We already have a student for "Easy partitioning" so you choosing another one 
comes in handy :p

I'd add one more thing to this GSoC which is "Disk Management", basically this 
includes:
1-Creating iso-s from optical mediums
2-Be able to mount the iso's
3-Burn these iso's into an optical medium

What do you think?

Can you send a proposal to kde-hardware-devel@kde.org including on it some 
information about yourself? 

Thanks! :)
