A student could (when the possible mentor suggests that and think it would make sense) also combine multiple ideas for his project proposal. In that sense it might make sense to have more, but smaller "Ideas", which could be combined, if it makes sense and if the student has enough experience with e.g. TYPO3.
Some of the ideas/projects might be implemented fast, if done by one of us. But that's not what the GSoC is about. I think it's also about giving the student the chance to get involved into our community.

The "idea" could have a flexible "goal", it's could be an "inspiration" for the student, so he could suggest a concrete project based on his own concept.

In my personal opinion: It's easier to get something done/ready, if you don't have many dependencies on other (projects/people) and if you do small steps, one by one.
