WE MOVED! ALL FUTURE GSoC DISCUSSIONS TAKE PLACE @ https://groups.drupal.org/google-summer-code
Welcome potential Google Summer of Code 2010 students and mentors!
About (from the SoC site):
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 3,400 students and more than more than 3,000 mentors & co-mentors from nearly 100 countries worldwide, all for the love of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
This group is for posting and discussing GSoC project ideas, as well as for general conversation that relates to the SoC. You can also get help on the #drupal IRC channel on freenode (irc://irc.freenode.net/drupal).
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT PROJECT IDEAS OR TO RE-SUBMIT IDEAS FROM LAST YEAR!

Objectives
1) Integrate Drupal with LimeSurvey
2) Extend the functionality beyond simple integration.

Data Visualization for RDF data
I know I'm late on this, but I just read "If She Can Do It, I Can Too" a few days ago and was inspired. Looking for suggestions (even if it is a module that already does this) and a mentor. Cheers!
Synopsis
With the inclusion of RDF in Drupal 7 core, Drupal is being widely hailed as the best upcoming tool for producing content for the Semantic Web. However, for people to understand the power of the Semantic Web, we need to help them use the data that all of these Drupal 7 sites will be producing. Proprietary tools—such as Microsoft Pivot and the Adobe Flex—provide sleek visualizations of datasets. With this project, I aim to bring this kinds of advanced data visualization—with zoomable, data rich user interfaces—to Drupal. With these kinds of interfaces, Drupal will not only be the best way to produce content for the Semantic Web, but also the best way to consume that content and turn the data into something really interesting and understandable.

Project Tools for Grassroots Activism
This project is currently being developed at Activism Labs
Overview
This set of tools will allow grassroots activists to better organize projects and campaigns and will also be useful to end-users working on almost any type or project. Existing tools for Drupal are lacking key features, often not very user-friendly, and almost never packaged for easy setup. I will address these problems by:
- Adding functionality to existing task tracking modules
- Creating the capacity for subgroups
