Uh, no, this is not what mentors will do :-) Instead *you* have to get
acquainted with the topic you are really interested in, inspect the
freetype-devel e-mail list archive, check the FreeType git repository,
etc., etc., and start with a proposal.

What we will do on this e-mail list (to which you should definitely
subscribe) is answering *specific* questions to a project.  This is
why we have a red-coloured paragraph at the beginning of our GSoC
page...

Just to be sure I repeat it: *you* have to be the driving force in
writing a proposal and doing the project!  We will guide you, but we
will *not* lead.
