Yes, I think there's enough extra work that can be done to complete
the exporter feature set,
possibly an importer too (though as this format isn't intended for
interchange, it's not essential).

Daniel/Mitchell, interested to know what you think about this.
Also if you intend to spend a lot of time on this before GSOC starts.

See glTF on the ideas page:
