Proposed Projects

The following is a list of projects that the Drupal mentors and members of the community have proposed. These projects all fill a perceived need in the Drupal landscape, and were all created with the intention of being challenging yet reasonable for a smart student in a summer's time.

IMPORTANT: These are just suggestions! Your creativity in thinking up different projects or variations of the ones listed is welcome and highly valued.

If you have questions about any of the proposed projects, please ask them in the comments for the project. You need a Drupal account to do this.

Please keep in mind that these are not the only possible projects. If you have your own idea for a project that you would like to pursue, by all means share it with us in your SoC application.

Note to submitters: Please add a "Proposed by: username" line at the top so that people know who to direct questions to. Also please note that from the proposal it must be visible what the goals, the deliverables are and why this would be good for the Drupal project, the Drupal users -- there will be ten-twenty times as many as students as slots so competition is fierce which obviously applies for proposals too. A personal wish(list) is not a proposal.
