-| Implement a redesign for tab groups
+| Render large PNG images
-| Tab groups are a great feature of Firefox, but it is only half-finished. There's a redesign proposal at http://readyformozilla.com/panorama and a prototype at http://readyformozilla.com/panorama/prototype. The work involves both the finalization of the (currently rough) design and the implementation.
+| For data visualization web sites like [http://bioviz.rocq.inria.fr SegAnnDB] need to display large PNG images, but [http://sugiyama-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/~toby/images/ as this test shows], Firefox does not render very large PNG images. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=978893 A bug has been filed] and this bug could perhaps be fixed by a Google Summer of Code student.

+| Allowing write access to LDAP address books
+| It is about time this [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86405 13 year old bug] was crushed once and for all. Currently LDAP address books can be opened in read-only mode, but cannot be written to. Enabling write access would bring Thunderbird one step closer to being [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564148 enterprise-friendly] by allowing enterprises (and individuals) to share a common address book across multiple Thunderbird installations.

+| L10n Dashboard
+|
+'''Project Brief'''
+A dashboard for keeping track of l10n statistics for various projects in a single place with ease of access for localizers and project co-ordinators in mind. As an added feature the Dashboard can be developed in a mobile friendly responsive layout.
+'''Problem Statement'''
+Mozilla has a very large number of simultaneous localization projects, each using a different localization tool. As such, there is no central entity where localizers can go to, to find a list of all the projects that they contribute to, and find detailed statistics (completion status, contribution metrics, etc.) across individual projects.
+Too many URLs and translation systems to remember along with keeping track of all updates / statistics across various projects is quite a big manual process at the moment. Having all these in a single place would allow contributors / locale leads to take quicker and better informed decisions about which projects to prioritize while working.
+'''High-Level Project Goals'''
+* The system should provide a consolidated view for l10n statistics across projects and provide easy access to individual projects.
+* The system should be capable of data visualization for real time data gathered from multiple sources, to provide enhanced reporting capabilities.
+* The dashboard should be a double ended one: i.e. have separate views for organizations/maintainers and individuals.
+* It has to be modularized, so as to separate the view from the back-end stores.
+* It needs to be easily deploy-able to enable individual teams to directly plug it to their own repositories and use it.
+* The system has to be easily extendable to allow for easy modifications, as well as be light, efficient and user friendly.
+|
+* Pootle, Transifex etc. translation system APIs.
+* HTML5, CSS3, JS.
+* Data visualization tools.
