Numerous. These days with GSoC I look for a few things: * creativity and initiative; if the applicant copy and pastes something from the ideas list, it isn't a negative .. but it also isn't a positive. try to communicate what you would *like* to work on rather than what you think we think should be worked on. * reasonability in scope: I have grown skeptical of GSoC proposals that include developing new infrastructure or which have large scope. keep it simple and focused. * a focus on improving what exists. these are not only very valuable, they are usually the most instructive for the student and the most likely to succeed both for the student and the project for Plasma Active, the kinds of things I can imagine seeing GSoC project for could include: * implementing QML components that embody the draft typography guidelines * improving the Launch area * enancing the Okular touch UI * improvements on Kontact Touch * appmenu QML * improving KDE Games for touch * a quality port of the existing Marble QML UI to Plasma Components * improved books view for file manager (perhaps even with a focus on periodicals) * album support in image viewer .. the list of things that are possible is very, very long and i think all are interesting and exciting as projects. so, what interests *you*? -- Aaron J.
