That would be a really good GSoC task in my opinion. This is something that could potentially benefit Haiku greatly, but it's not something that *has* to be done. It would also be good to improve the 'bus factor' on the app_server code. Also, as Clemens said, there is already good documentation in place for what needs to be done, so the mentoring burden could be much lower. Starting with enabling hardware cursors could be a good way for the student to become familiar with the app_server.
Sure, why not. I'm not sure if those tasks add up so well, though, and if adding hardware cursor support isn't stealing time from the actual job. However, if a student would implement it to show he is capable of implementing compositing, I would actually trust him to be able to do so :-)
Bye, Axel.
