that shifts the goal of the gsoc a little bit away from what was in my  
mind, but actually it seems to make more sense.
previously i thought of a raster background, where you can draw with the  
stylus and additional shapes, that you can put on top (similar to krita).
now you shifted my thoughts to another flake shape (raster graphics), for  
drawing with stylus, pressure etc and additionally some simple pattern  
recognition for drawing circles, rects, lines, graphs etc in a quick but  
not raster way (better handling of shapes with the stylus and even mouse).

i'm not sure, if the second point with the pattern recognition is clear,  
so here is an example:
with stylus or mouse you draw in braindump or kword a circle, after  
finishing it turns into a flake circle. the same with other shapes and if  
unrecognised, a path. this would be implemented as a tool plugin.

the result of gsoc would be polishing braindump and two plugins, a tool  
and a flake shape.
