If you're interested in participating in Mozilla's GSoC program, you can choose from the list below, '''but you do not have to'''. You can submit a proposal for your own idea. You should look at the [[Community:SummerOfCode18:Brainstorming|guidelines]], though, and discuss your ideas or application in the #introduction channel on IRC.Mozilla.org. This is important, as GSoC projects '''must have''' a supporting member of the Mozilla community to evaluate and mentor them, named in the application.

| Download Spam Protection for Firefox
 
| In Firefox, we want websites to go through a permission prompt if they want to initiate several downloads in an automated (not user-initiated) fashion. The project will involve implementing a permission prompt, implementing the logic of when it should be triggered, and collecting data (via telemetry, etc) on how users interact with the prompt in order to verify how the feature behaves.
| Good JavaScript experience and a basic understand of how the web works.

| "MDN in English" Web Extension
| There are several visitors who prefer to read [https://developer.mozilla.org MDN Web Docs] in English, but browse the web in their native language, such as German. However, search results from Google and other engines take them to their native-language pages, and MDN picks the native language in other cases.  The project will be to develop an extension for Firefox (and Chrome as a stretch goal) that helps these users get the English pages, by presenting an English-preferred Accept-Language header on developer.mozilla.org, redirecting when arriving from an external site, and providing a one-click interface to switch to English.

| Improve Enigmail User Experience
| Improve Enigmail User Experience
| [https://enigmail.net Enigmail] is an add-on for Thunderbird that adds OpenPGP-based email encryption and authentication. This is a Thunderbird project that focuses on improving the user interface for Enigmail, such that it fits better into the general Thunderbird UI and makes user experience smoother. The goal of this project is to lower the entry-barrier for non-experts to use encryption by simplifying the existing core workflows and tasks. The main areas to work on are initial setup, sending and reading mails.
