==== Generic linux application wrapper ====
Improve the ability to launch legacy Linux applications (or Windows applications in WINE) from inside Sugar. The issues are our window manager, our datastore/file system, and our security model (Rainbow). Basically, you'd have to fake all of these from one side or the other so that an average legacy app could live with Sugar.
This is a priority for sugar, and there is significant prior art and design thought. The first part of your job would be to search this wiki, the laptop.org wiki, and old mailing list archives for OLPC and Sugarlabs, and talk on IRC, to settle on a good design. We'd consider accepting a strong application even if it left some design questions open.
* Priority for Sugar: High-Very High
* Difficulty (as a GSoC project): Advanced
* Skills needed: Creative ability to use various tools, experience with window manager and windowing systems (Gnome, KDE, etc.).
