Tablet PC and Summer of Code

Hi all,

Corey forwarded my previous message about a Tablet PC related project for
Summer of Code (thanks Corey), but I thought I would try to rephrase my
request a little more clearly:

1) Are there many people who actually use Tablet PCs and would like to see
improvements to Ubuntu's Tablet useability?

2) What is the most important aspect that needs work?  Some ideas I've had
are:
    - A handwriting input tool (similar to Windows' TIP)
    - A tool to easily configure screen rotation and hardware buttons
    - Handwriting recognition in the background (for searchable handwriting,
although that is probably beyond my abilities)
    - An annotation plugin to Evince/xpdf
    - Improvements to Xournal

This would be a pretty ambitious project if I tried to do all of it, so I'd
like to just focus on one subcomponent.  Also, if I don't get accepted to
Summer of Code, I'd still like to do this, so I'd really appreciate your
input.  Thank you,

Charlotte
