Community:SummerOfCode08: Difference between revisions

This page lists all the Google Summer of Code 2008 projects with confirmed mentors, and which have been approved by the SoC administrator. Please do not edit this page; new suggestions can be made on [[Community:SummerOfCode08:Brainstorming|the Brainstorming page]].

'''Potential students''': you may choose from the list below, from [[Community:SummerOfCode08:Brainstorming|the Brainstorming page]], or submit your own proposal. Be wary when choosing from the Brainstorming page; there is often a good reason why the ideas haven't made it to this page.

If the idea has no mentor (or the person who has volunteered is unsuitable) then we would need to find a mentor; you will increase your chances of success if you find one for yourself and submit their name with your application. A mentor should generally be a respected Mozilla project contributor with expertise in the relevant field; projects involving integration with other code could be mentored by someone with expertise in the other codebase. However, lack of a mentor should not be a deterrent - please, still apply even if you don't have one.
