Hi Alejandro,

Welcome to the P2PSP project!

I've had a look to the links and they are very interesting.
Regarding your Python experience, I think that it's not a problem, if you
know C, C++ and Java, I'm sure that Python will be easy for you.

You can choose whatever idea that you prefer. The best choice: the idea in
which you feel most comfortable.
BTW, Do you know that you can submit more than one proposal? (even in
different organizations)
"Each student may submit up to five proposals. However, only one proposal
will be accepted."

Some key points that you should consider to include in your proposal are
available at: http://p2psp.org/en/news/59-gsoc-application-template

Thanks for your interest in the project!

Regards.
