Yes, you bet, thanks!

In line with that, I'm also tracking yet another GSOC page, as the  
OpenStreetMap GSOC organizer is also interested in better printed  
output for OpenStreetMap data, and since both Mapnik and QGIS work  
nicely with OpenStreetMap data, the students that might work on this  
project should also be, at the least, connected.
