Google Summer of Code 2011 Ideas

Rules

• Be creative
• Be specific: what do you want to be implemented
• If you are willing to mentor those ideas, add your name and email to the idea.
• GSoC project ideas should align with an existing Eclipse project
• If you're an interested student, add your name and email next to the idea. It is ok to have several students interested in one idea.
• Aspiring students and mentors need to register and submit their proposals on the SoC app

Mentors info

If you were a mentor last year then you are automatically in the list this year (the GSoC site may require that you re-register, but we think of you as "in").

Note that we only accept as mentors people who are known to us. This includes Eclipse committers. If you would like to be a mentor, please either introduce yourself to the group using the soc-dev mailing list, or send a note to EMO.

Ideas submission

Idea proposal should contain the following information:

• project title, like "WTP - Improve auto-complete in xml editor"
• description with links to bug reports, project wiki pages, etc
• Reporter: who submitted idea (optional e-mail)
• Possible Mentors: who would like to mentor the students
• More info: other links or e-mail
• Eclipse Project: link to main eclipse project that improvement is targeting
• Potential students: who is interested (with optional e-mail). This one completely informal, to actually be interested you need to submit the proposal. Contact the idea owner or possible mentor to get some details before submitting it.
