Google Summer of Code 2010

I am hopping to solicit feedback and to find mentor(s).

Overview: Bespin for Drupal - an integrated, web-based, collaborative code editor form Mozilla Labs.

Description: Bespin for Drupal could be yet another input method using the WYSIWYG API, but with real-time collaborative editing. B4D could also be implemented to allow Dash command line, file editing, version control, syntax highlighting, API access - a built-in IDE with multi-user editing (such as with Google Docs).

Bespin could be implemented in two ways, embedded or by implementing the Server API with Drupal. Embedded B4D would be beneficial, but with significantly less potential. Both methods may be delivered, so both are discussed. The applicant is currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science, has participated in Drupal based website implementations, is a member of the EFF, FSF and IEEE, and is a true believer of the public commons importance.

This is an announcement that the template has changed for proposals. You can see the new template here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/55448. The only change is the addition of a timeline.

Your projects will be severely penalized in the review process if you don't have a timeline. You may edit your proposals to include them.

Hello everyone!

I would like to propose the integration of an image editor into Drupal. The image editor I have in mind is PaintWeb, which is also an open source project.

The motivation for this project is based on the emerging popularity of HTML5 and advanced web applications. Drupal is a powerful CMS which should allow users to also edit images inside their browser, without having to use an offline tool for simple drawings / simple edits.

Overview:
There is so much content in the Internet that its availability becomes its own problem, we still need to manually extract information from each content. Sure there's a lot of ways this is being addressed like use of meta data, tags, web semantics, micro-format but it only yields data. As example, a news article has headline and title; its tagged and categorized. We used web semantic analysis and find Persons, places, events and etc. Still we dont know anything really about it, how does the mentioned persons related to the places and events. Where they on it or referring to it? How about answering "Is the article a good or bad news?" To whom is it good to and by what degree?

Remote entities

Overview:

The aim of the project is to create a system, based on services, which will enable to transparently use entities from a different site as local entities. I will base my system on Drupal 7, because the new APIs give me the required level of flexibility for the clean implementation. I will use the Entity API module to do easy CRUD on the entities.

Hi,
I want to see object relationship mapping in drupal.

Overview

the Drawing API is an API module that allows developers to define vector graphics in a structured array format (resembling the Forms API). It was aimed at bringing SVG display closer to developers, taking over the rendering part so that graphics can be created more easily.

Description

I am Abhishek Gupta, currently a Computer Science student at IIT Delhi, India. I am working with drupal from last eight months and feels amazed with the abstraction layer that it creates for most of its users, and simultaneously making the process of setting up of website a matter of minutes.

Overview

Hey all! I emailed KarenS about possible work on the date module, and the following is a summary of what we came up with. I'll post more details/respond to discussions if people think this is a viable proposal.

About Me: I am a current college sophomore concentrating in physics and math with a computer science secondary. I am an experienced Drupal developer, having worked with Development Seed for two years now in both Drupal 5 and 6. I have a lot of experience with the date module, as well as relevant areas such as Views 2, CCK, and FormAPI. I have submitted patches to many modules including date and views, the most relevant to this work being an outstanding one adding flexible granularity to the current dates: http://drupal.org/node/259308.

Overview: There are a number of areas KarenS and I discussed as possible options for a summer of work. The primary ones include refactoring the API to be more understandable, cleaner, and to use OO techniques where applicable. I think significant gains in simplicity and extensibility are possible here, which would be very useful for such an important module used in many other applications. Another is reimplementing the submodules in this light. A third is finishing flexible granularity and other additions on top of the API. All this will probably be done in the context of the update of Date module to Views 3 and Drupal 7.
