You can also discuss your ideas or application in the #introduction channel on IRC: irc://irc.mozilla.org/#introduction . Your idea will have a significantly greater chance of being chosen if you can find an existing member of the Mozilla community who is willing to evaluate or mentor it. (You should name that person in your application.) | ||
In addition to the specifically-named projects below, we have also tagged a number of bugs in Bugzilla with the keyword [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=student-project&resolution=--- student-project]. However, as the idea of a "student project" is wider than just the Summer of Code, students looking through the list will need to decide whether any particular bug listed there is actually the right size and scope for Summer of Code. | In addition to the specifically-named projects below, we have also tagged a number of bugs in Bugzilla with the keyword [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=student-project&resolution=--- student-project].

| As these changes will partially require some migration steps, it is important to write unit tests for the code produced during the Summer of Code.

| The work involved will be significantly more and would require deep analysis of the calendar code base. However, the end-product would bring cheers to a lot of users and end complaints of lightning not functioning with a particular server.

| Implement speech synthesis on desktop Firefox | |||
| We have an implementation of speech synthesis via the [https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/speech-api/raw-file/tip/speechapi.html Web Speech API]. Currently, only Firefox OS devices have an engine via SVOX Pico. It would be good to have speech synthesis supported on Firefox for desktop OSs as well. Also, the current implementation should be tested and updated to interop with other browsers that support speech synthesis, such as Safari and Chrome. | |||

| Kitherder | |||
| Kitherder is a web application that is designed to facilitate participation in the Mentorships program. Note that while this program is currently limited to security projects, the goal of KitHerder is to provide the matchmaking and relationship management features required to open the program to the Mozilla community.<br> | |||
The requirements here are driven by the documentation from the mentorship program and it is expected that the system will leverage Mozillians.org accounts to reduce the amount of personal data stored in Kitherder, and issue badges using the Mozilla Foundation badge system based on participation criteria.<br> | |||
<br><b>Goals</b>: To take Kitherder to a level where it can be deployed to allow the matching of mentors and mentees and manage the basic relationship work. | |||
