Re: [Owncloud] Help us to fill the project ideas page!
Hi Alessandro, thanks a lot for taking care about GSoC once again! Regarding project ideas, I'd like to recommend that we keep the GSoC projects on new or existing apps. We had pretty good success in the past with apps being developed during GSoC like news, music, pdf_viewer A student can work on one app pretty isolated and independent of the core. Contributions to the core require much more coordination and will take longer. In addition the entry boundary for core is much higher. I had the chance last year to support our GSoC student and I really enjoyed it. Please consider me as an overall mentor for all GSoC projects this year - I'm happy to help. I'll add my ideas to the wiki page.
