|Implement resource packages
|A [http://limi.net/articles/resource-packages-spec-ready-for-prototyping/ specification is ready for prototyping] resource packages ({{bug|529208}}), which provide a backwards-compatible, simple, efficient way to bundle up resources in a single file to make transfers faster and reduce HTTP overhead.

|Improve Cairo performance to match Skia
|There are a number of areas where [http://code.google.com/p/skia/ Skia] outperforms [http://www.cairographics.org/ Cairo]. Find them, and improve Cairo to match or exceed Skia's performance.

|Add retained paths to cairo/SVG/D2D
|We could speed up SVG rendering in many situations by adding [http://www.cairographics.org/ Cairo] API to reuse a path multiple times, and supporting this API directly in cairo backends where this feature exists in the underlying platform (e.g. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371512%28VS.85%29.aspx D2D]). Think "rotating tiger head".

|Create a JPEG XR decoding library
|[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR JPEG XR] gives us better compression and other useful features like HDR and alpha channels. The library should be as similar to libjpeg as possible.

|Multitouch simulator
|A simulation framework would allow developers who do not own a touchscreen device to program websites using the touch APIs. The simulator would be able to run scripted sequences of events, e.g. "move finger 1 from point A to point B and move finger 2 down", and possibly record events too if on an enabled device.

|This framework could be a standalone JS package, a jQuery plugin or a Firebug plugin.
|-
|Built-in Grammar checking
|This project would be divided into three parts :
- A syntax analyser, able o build a semantic tree from a sentence, proceeding by substitutions according to a given set of grammar rules.
- Basic grammar rules and dictionnary for the English language
(At this point, the system should be able to interpret all possible meanings simple well-formed sentence)
- A correction system, built in two parts. First, completing the syntax analyser so that it can "guess" the closest correctly formed sentences when the provided one doesn't match with the rules, and second by verifying that all built trees, therefore structurally correct, don't contain concordance mistakes, etc.
It would probably not be ready for everyday use by the end of the SoC (due to the complexity of natural languages making it a lot of work to transcribe them into substitution rules for tree building) but the language-independant part of the system should be operational.
|Arnaud VIÉ ([[User:Unas|Unas]])
|
|This could also be implemented into Thunderbird.
Plus, the syntax analyser could be used later as a basis in a translation tool too, when provided with a base of equivalence between words and sentence structures in two languages.

|Improve Email Invitations
|Our Email Invitations have been greatly improved since 0.9, but there are still some remaining regressions and new bugs to be fixed here. Also, it would be swell to implement some of the remaining iTIP/iMIP specs, like COUNTER and delegation.[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2447 rfc2447 Email Scheduling (rfc2447)]

|Further mozmill tests/improvements
|Merike has done a great job working on Mozmill and I think its a good idea to continue this effort. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill Mozmill] is an automatic testing framework that immitates user actions to check if the application is doing what it is supposed to. The student would be making sure mozmill tests run with our build system ({{bug|545838}}) and writing further tests.

|Weave Sync engines for tabs and mailnews status
|[https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/10868 Weave Sync] is Mozilla's mechanism for synchronizing different installs of Firefox and SeaMonkey.
This project should adapt the existing Firefox tabs engine to work with SeaMonkey, and implement an engine for mailnews status, e.g. read feed entries and newsgroup posts.

|The tabs engine is a good learning/entry step, the mailnews status is the actual goal.
