What is it?
The Google Summer of Code™ is a program sponsored by Google where they pay students to develop open source software. In its third incarnation in 2007, Geeklog took part in the program for the first time.
Call For Brainstorming
After last year's successful participation, we are planning to apply again in 2008. For this we need two things:
- ideas
- mentors
Please note: Projects for the SoC should be doable during the 3 months that the program runs. Ideas for smaller projects are probably better suited for Geeklog's bounty program.
Ideas
- Webservices revisited
- Install script: Plugins and Migration
- Improving the comments
- SWOT (Spam: Web of Trust)
- Mailman Plugin
- Improved Search
- Add Social Networking Features
- Implement a theme based on the YUI CSS Foundation Libraries
- Cross Site Alerting and Publication API
- Implement Open Web Analytics
- Core Notification Service
- Geeklog2 Syndication API
- Geeklog2 Anti-Spam "Solution"
There are also some leftover ideas from 2007. Feel free to add some more.
