What can you tell new about Content Selection?



I remember reading about a goal for GNOME called "Content Selection".
One of those new-fangled content applications like Files, Photos or
Documents would be available as a Content Selector (much like a file
chooser dialog) for any other application. Here's Allan Day on the
subject, and a wiki page:

https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ContentSelection

Now, first of all, I guess I'm wondering if this is on a roadmap
somewhere, or if it's just an idea at this point. Either way, this is
something I have been very interested in for some time, and I've been
meaning to play with GNOME a lot more, so I would really love to do
something to help make it happen :)

Is somebody working on Content Selection at this point, and do you
think it would make sense for a student to contribute to that as a
GSoC project? (Willing mentors, etc?). Who should I talk to? Any help
is greatly appreciated.
