Namecoin Forum

I don't think it uses Namecoin.

From their GitHub:

Prototype built on Bitcoin code to utilize existing crypto, network, CLI, etc. functions (but not blockchain)

I think the description looks good. I just noticed some wording that appeared awkward to me. I think "the first and mostly known such application" should be "the first and most widely known of such applications".

Last year the project was also to port Armory, not to create a standalone UI. The problem I see with making it a standalone UI is that you have to clearly define what that UI is expected to do by the end of GSoC. I actually was looking at applying for the light client project.
