one thing is swscale cleanup and improvments
the last years GSoC has lead to some nice restructuring but theres
alot more that can be done. float support, multithreading support
and a lot more besides more general cleanup along the way
one advantange of swscale work is also that there are many idividual
and seperate tasks possible, which gives this some flexibility
in terms of the amount of work and allows individual adjustment
depending on the students ability and performace during the summer
