Thank you :) I'm alredy preparing my CV.

Just one question, how would me working on the client (and module) work,
alongside Lê Xuân Hùng who was accepted for the project under SoC? I was
told that  with Drupal more than one student may work on a SoC project,
but on the Google Summer of Code Mentor FAQ it states that students can
not collaborate on a project.

What role could I take outside of SoC? I get the impression that the
student is not really allowed input on their project from the community
in terms of code, the project has to be clearly defined and all their
own work. How could I usefully contribute without interfering with his
project?

It's a good question...hopefully we can get some clarification from Robert Douglass here.

I'm going to contact some people I know at ActiveState -- who do nothing but XUL work -- and see if they might want to sponsor you to do some XUL work, whether related to Drupal or note.
