Hi Paolo, I can mentor the project below:
Project idea
Name: Instance Derreferencer for Pharo Skill level: Intermediate Possible Mentors: Name of the Student: Alejandro Infante
Description: A problem with image based environment is, when you detect a memory leak is removing those objects from the system. This tool would provide a handy UI to inspect the current instances of the classes that we think they have a memory leak and, in case there are objects that are not being garbage collected, offer to the user a Derreference button. This is going to iterate over all the objects that have a reference to my object and remove that reference, finally enabling the Garbage Collector to get rid of the leak.
Cheers, Alexandre

Hi fellow Pharo hackers,
ESUG, the European Smalltalk User Group, is applying for this year's Google Summer of Code. As you probably know, the Summer of Code provides the opportunity to fund students to work during the summer on Pharo. Please reply to this email (be sure to use "Reply to all") if you have ideas you would like to propose.
Please include a summary of the project and links to web pages that can help prospective students to write their application. Please also include the following information:
- if applicable, other dialects that you would be willing to mentor this project for
- the skill level
- name of the mentor(s), email addresses, and possibly any IRC network/channel/nickname where they can be found.
Thanks for contributing to ESUG's Summer of Code application!
Just a note that I haven't yet processed this thread, but our ideas page is already looking pretty well (and Pharo section is big) so I'll probably do it in the weekend or next Monday.
I can do it if you want.
Cheers, Nico
