There is initial work to have a clutter backend for the Eye of GNOME.
Also there has been many proposals about having some sort of plugin to
allow eog to tag and retrieve images tagged through tracker. I think
that you might want to check bug 546504 for the clutter stuff and
discuss with people like Iván Frade or me about the tracker ideas.

Please keep into account that gsoc has a very tight schedule, so working
in improving a current project might be a better idea than starting one
from scratch if you want your proposal to be taken into consideration.
