Revision as of 19:23, 9 March 2010

This page is for anyone to submit ideas for Google Summer of Code projects with Mozilla for 2010. As it is open to all, it will inevitably contain suggestions of wildly variable quality.

Students: ideas approved by the SoC admins are here. You can also submit ideas from this page, but they are rather less likely to be accepted. There's probably a reason they haven't been moved to that page.

How To Make Good Suggestions

Before adding an idea to this list, please consider the following:

  • Be specific. It's hard to understand the impact of, or the size of, vague proposals.
  • Consider size. The student has eight weeks to design, code, test and document the proposal. It needs to fill, but not overfill, that time.
  • Do your research. Support the idea with well-researched links.
  • Don't morph other people's ideas. If you have a related idea, place it next to the existing one, or add a comment.
  • Insert only your own name into the Mentor column, and then only if you are willing to take on the responsibility. If you think the SoC admins won't know you, leave contact details.
  • Check back regularly. The administrators may have questions about your idea that you will need to answer.
  • Know when to give up. If you've added the same idea for the last three years and it hasn't made it to the official page, perhaps you can predict what will happen this time.

Implement pluggable mail store See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Pluggable_Mail_Stores We have someone signed up to do maildir, but it would be interesting to see a sqlite implementation, and we'll probably need help with the core code and perhaps the mail dir impl.

Calendar

Title Abstract - links to details/bugs/etc Reporter Mentor(s) Comments
Improve import/export feature This would basically consist of 3 parts:-

1.csv and ics import/export: Make sure that the import/export feature of calendar in .csv and .ics format works correctly, Presently either it transfers incomplete data during the export or doesn’t handle the errors(if any)efficiently during import and as a result import fails.

2.Improving the parser and error handling: Make the parser more error tolerant. It should display user understandable error messages when a corrupted file is imported or when a file with wrong extension is intended to be imported.

3.HTML import: Add a feature of importing events in the html format from user's computer as well as the remote URL.

Part 1 and 2 would greatly improve import/export in different file formats and 3 would be a nice new feature.

Social Bugzilla Extension An extension that would collect stats about users and  show them as part of a profile display. This system would allow new and veteran users understand who they are talking to and perhaps make bugzilla more "human". The system would identify users who are new to filing bugs, new to making patches, or might be cronic dup filers. It would also let people know how active users are. To see more about this idea see my blog post here http://guy-pyrzak.blogspot.com/2010/03/ideas-for-user-stats-to-gether-for-more.html. We could also implement a "points" system that would let admins create a formula based on the values we collect to show information. This data could also be added to a webservice to be available to other systems to scrape.
