|I spoke to Ian Barlow (ibarlow@mozilla.com) and he's willing to mentor this project. An additional mentor from the mobile team may be needed.

|Private Browsing is currently being rewritten and moved into Core (docshell) so perhaps we should wait for next year's GSoC.

|Update the Composer (Web Page Editor) component.
|We need to modernize the Composer code to take into account HTML5, CSS3 and modern web development techniques.
 
{{Bug|477840}} Backport KompoZer to Composer.<br>{{Bug|477845}} Build a standalone Composer.

|We plan to use the KompoZer code base as the basis of the new Composer component.

|Mail Bookmarks.
|We alredy have a primitive version of tagging. We should have the ability to "bookmark" individual mail messages, search and organize them just like browser bookmarks.

|Could probably include an enhanced tagging feature.

|Modernize Migration code and add new migrators.

| Sample Open Web App demonstrating AppCache
| Create a sample Open Web App that will show HTML5 developers how AppCache makes an App that launches quickly and repeatably, even in the face of bad or missing network connections (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Offline_resources_in_Firefox). Examples could include eBook readers or WebGL-based games. Code should be exceptionally readable and well-documented.

| PDF eBook reader for Open Web Apps
| Create an eBook reader for the Mozilla Marketplace based around PDF.js. This App should allow users to (1) manage a library of PDF's found on the net and (2) provide a pleasant full-screen reading experience. Extra credit for implementing bookmarks and sharing or other social features. Ideally, this App would work well on tablets, phones and desktops.

| Standardization of Localization using MT systems and More...
| During Localization a need is felt for standardization of translation of words during localization. As of now lack of an exhaustive list of standardized usage leads to various problems for l10n contributors. The idea is to create an exhaustive database for entries with their corresponding suggested translation. This should also work with small phrases. This project aims at creating a tool which uses MT based on existing work. Simply put the idea is to take the existing l10n work an put it through a statistical machine translation system like Moses. Based on this a list is created with preferred translations for the English words. Corrections to this are made if any. Organize it into a database of sorts and design a small web portal that will help people contributing to l10n find words and preferred translations real easy. This will be done for all languages. In addition to this quality of suggestions for existing strings compared to localized strings will be checked and find if any inconsistencies exist in the localized strings

|I talked to Phillipe (filip) and Alex (Pike) on the IRC. Phillipe has agreed to mentor me while Alex has said that he too will be helping out.
