There are projects that use gsoc for docs and the like. I would see nothing
wrong with someone contributing code to the installer -- especially someone
with less familiarity with p9 than most 9fans -- they will likely taake
longer than 1-2 weeks. Additionally it might be a good opportunity to get
someone interested who doesn't have C skills, which is something we have
been historically awful at in GSoC.
