Abhishek,

I wrote a plugin called Virtual Pages (
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/virtual-pages/) which is meant to grow
into a Views module for WordPress. Right now, it tries to give a
user-friendly interface to query_posts's parameters and lets you map them to
URLs.

For some people, it works wonderfully. For others, it doesn't work at all,
and I've never been able to figure out why (never gave it much time,
either).

I don't know if it falls within the scope of GSoC, but I'd love any help
getting this working for everyone and maybe adding some features to make it
more like Views.
