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!

Animate Drupal API
This module would provide a framework where users can write themes and other modules to use preset animation controls for various places within drupal. so the end user doesnt need to know javascript to create cool customizable effects to any drupal element. this will allow an easy way of making drupal front end a little less static with these subtle dynamic effects..
...
eg uages of this module.
Drupal APPcenter || Module browsing through Drupal Back End
-
Good products has Appcenters like Apple App store , Ubuntu App
center ect.. -
by using those centers we can discover thousands of apps in various
category's. -
When we consider about drupal, if we want to add module we need to
download that module from: http://drupal.org/project/Modules or http://drupalmodules.com
and install it.
I am trying to propose convenient solution for module installing
possible implementation
- Develop separate module to access and browse module-galary through Drupal.

Collaborative Editing of Nodes
I would like to consider implementing collaborative editing for nodes. This would work similarly to collaborative editing in Google Docs, polling the server about every 30 seconds to get the changes that other users have made. I am relatively new to Drupal, but I do not see any reason this would not be feasible. Would it be useful to anyone? Seems like it could be a fun, challenging, project.

Preparing drupal for the real time web
I was thinking about the following. Often when we want to share on the web, it needs to happen fast, simple and instant. Think about this as being a journalist who wants to publish an article. Or consider a student that is taking notes during a lecture. Actually we are confronted with this reoccurring pattern quite a lot. We need to be able to quickly enter and navigate content. The challenge for Drupal is that it should be able to accomplish these tasks more efficiently than it does now. The adaptation of the user interface should be easier and the workflow should be enhanced.
