I will arrange the proposal and do it that way that Emanuelle's work will be 
included into the GSoC work. I think that it is important too.

So I decided to focus on 3D brush as 1st proposal.
Diffusional Curves in Krita as 2nd proposal.

I already mailed long time ago with one of the authors of curves and the 
author showed some joy over the fact, that somebody wants to implement in 
open-source project. No problems with patent I think.
