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. Potential mentors sign up here.
- 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.
