Google Summer of Code idea

[Michael V. De Palatis]

I'm not an Ubuntu developer, but I think that this is an incredibly
good idea. One of the most difficult things for a newbie to the linux
world to get working can be wireless networking, especially if he or
she doesn't have one of the few chipsets that work out of the box.

I agree that this would be fairly difficult to implement, but that's
what Summer of Code projects are for. So, while I carry absolutely no
say in this, I say that you should officially write up a proposal.
