Here is the link to the previous years ideas:
- http://www.refractions.net/soc2006/ (you need a single page per
organization)
- http://www.refractions.net/soc2006/index.php?PostgisIdeas
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Summer+of+Code
As an example here is the kind of thing that was not quite specific enough:
IDEA: Got GPS?
If so lets get those GPS Tracks on the map with a new "Import" plugin,
the result can be packaged as a custom RCP application "powered by uDig".
And here is one that was successful:
IDEA: More coverage formats? GDAL and ImageIO.
Hiding GDAL library behind ImageIO plugins would be a tremendous hit
since it would allow developers to access many different coverage
formats and to manipulate them through JAI extensible architecture.
Here you have some useful info about the mentioned libraries:
GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library is for sure the most
powerful translator library for raster geospatial data formats. There
is a huge ongoing work for building Java-bindings using SWIG in order
to fully eploit its power inside java applications.
JAI – Java Advanced Imaging "provides a set of object-oriented
interfaces that support a simple, high-level programming model which
lets you manipulate images easily".
ImageIO – JAI Image IO tools is the library providing the tools for
performing I/O following the JAI pull model
Hope this helps,
Jody
We ran a paragraph description last time - with mixed results. I would
try a couple of paragraphs and a diagram, mostly to make sure the
scope is limited
to the kind of thing that can be accomplished in a summer. Be
providing some examples of subject matter and scope you will keep the
signal to noise ratio a bit higher.
To be clear - this "idea list" is from the community to perspective
students; what the students need to write up is considerably more
detailed (and defined by the SoC process).
Cheers,
Jody

baked would ideas
have to be at this point in time?
