Hi agentrickard,

Please make an account on the google application site and apply to be a mentor for Drupal, so I can add this task. It needs a mentor listed on the google system. You can apply here: http://socghop.appspot.com/gci/mentor/request/google/gci2010/drupal. Thanks!

Hi agentrickard,

Could you also estimate the time, in hours, that it would take a student to complete this task once it is claimed? This estimate is required to input the task into the google system.

Thanks!

I'd rather target 7.x. Is that feasible?

I'm curious what is the status of this? Was this a summer of code activity? Did this get done?

I think this was GHOP (for younger students) and was never completed to my knowledge.
