In general all the ideas should be doable in the 3 month period of GSoC. 
It is of course up to you to determine or decide in detail on what parts 
you want to work on. It's ok to do more of course, but it would also be 
ok in case you do not achieve everything.

That's what the mentors are there for :) They will help you to find your 
way into TYPO3 and support you in any questions. And then there's of 
course the rest of the community, too...

Apart from that it will also be very valuable to us to get to know about 
the problems beginners struggle with so that we can improve in these areas.


all the best
Ingo
