Google Summer of Code 2006

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Note: Application deadline changed + stop ranking apps!

Because of massive amounts of 502 errors, Google has extended the application deadline to May 9 @ 11:00 PDT. I've changed the event to reflect this.

Also, Google has requested that mentors stop ranking applications as this is only adding to the problem. So try to stay out of the mentor admin panel unless absolutely necessary until after the deadline has passed. We still have about 2 weeks to rank and sort through apps. :)

I've made the group invite only, for now

We've lined up enough mentors. When we know who our students will be and the work gets started, we'll sanitize the group (unpublish any posts that aren't needed) and make it open for everyone. Does everyone find this plan acceptable?

TODO: Please re-evaluate this updated application

Several of you evaluated this application (GData) negatively, and rightfully so. The student completely rewrote it, so please take another look.

Supervisor node type

Would be interesting to have a "supervisor" node type which makes it obsolete to decide the content-type before the creation of the node.

Should have a node-root, where you are able to assign and mix up several generic node-types.

There should be a posibility to define the order (weight) of the related fields in columns and rows ("twin" weight).

Submitted project idea: content recommendation engine

Just put a project proposal into the bin: http://drupal.org/node/61877. I'm not sure how much it would overlap with the 'similar entries/context' proposal, and the 'social network analysis' proposal, but I think it has a lot of merit as a free-standing project. Thoughts and possible improvements appreciated.

interesting last minute proposal idea - repository module

We were kicking around the svn versus cvs chestnut, and I thought that perhaps we should make a proposal for making
the project / cvslog modules revisioning system agnostic. Basically separate out all the cvs'ey bits, and replace them with repository links that can understand svn / cvs / whatever a driver is written for.

Maybe importer of dmoz, wikipedia data like:
http://www.seitenplatz.de/Top (simple example)

It's related to modules spam. nodewords, whatsrelated, search

Specs: Project Module Enhancements

Caveat: I used an old version of the project module so I'm not sure if some of these are still relevant. Others may take off from this document. (i borrowed the template from Robert -- thanks!)

Success criteria:

The project will be considered successful if the following features are done:

Document management module

Short Description:

Create a Drupal module, which implements a Document Management workflow.

Motivation

Drupal has all of the essentials for a document management platform - document revisions, classification, support for storing a variety of document types. It lacks support for the typical document management workflows used in the industry.

Problem description

A typical workflow might look as this:

  1. create a user copy of the document in their workspace
  2. do some work
  3. commit the document back
