[Sugar-devel] Google Summer of Code project ideas

2013-03-26 Thread Walter Bender
We have been accumulating project ideas for Google Summer of Code 2013
[1]. Please take a few minutes to add a favorite project or sign on as
a co-mentor to an existing project. Also, feel free to help us refine
the descriptions on the pages. (I've added a bit of text to the end of
each project, describing how it benefits both Sugar and the student
working on the project. These blurbs need some refining.

The deadline is the 29th of this month, so please act in the next day or two.

Wow, the list of proposals pretty well covers the things I'd like to
see happen as a classroom teacher!  I will be waiting with
anticipation for the Summer work to begin.

In order to contribute, I have a student this Summer who will be
completing his community college career studies certificate with a
course in Django application development.  I've already talked to him
about making something like a Turtle Blocks social networking site his
Summer project.  I see that is already one of the projects on the
list.  I'll be looking for help plugging him into this project as the
Summer approaches.

Walter, 

I am looking over this list.
I am wondering about the requirements for a mentor.

Thanks.
Gerald

(1) be a member of the community
(2) be willing to put in a few hours a week (a bit more time in the
beginning) keeping tabs of progress
(3) have some familiarity with the task at hand

We try to have multiple mentors per project both to lighten the load
and being more eyes and ears to the tasks.

 Thanks.
