Google Summer of Code ideas needed

Thank you for your information.
 I'm not sure if Microsoft driver support user-define gesture. It just say 
it can config behavier of a
 pre-defined gesture. User-define gesture should be more useful and 
interesting to users. They can 
use touch device in their favorite and most personalized way. 
At the same time, the algrithm for user-define gesture recognition will be 
more complicated than 
pre-defined gesture. The standard of user-define gesture should be set up 
at first.

I got an idea. 

Add custom gesture recognition to touchpad and touchscreen driver module 
Difficulty: Medium 
Skills Required: C 
Description: 
This project can allow user to create custom gesture for special function, 
like turn off notebook, 
start a speciel application, and so on. we need a GUI for user to config 
and input the gesture, and 
add the recognition code to synaptics module or a new created module. 
  

This can also be potentially useful on the desktop with at least this one 
type of mouse: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/touch-mouse
It has the matrix of sensors and there is an open source adapter for it 
allowing to extract https://github.com/mcuelenaere/mstouchmouse/ finger 
touch picture.

If the gesture recognition, as an algorithm and gui, is properly 
implemented (as a user-land library), it is very easy to set up such mouse 
as a gesture based keyboard.
Microsoft driver for it does just that on Windows.
