Just because there isn't a lot of commits doesn't mean there is active work though. ACPI has work done that are yet to be commited, and I believe that it in itself would be to small to use for GSoC. Powersaving, sleeping and higher level services on top of ACPI would OTOH make a great GSoC imo. /Fredrik Holmqvist, TQH
