Welcome potential Google Summer of Code 2012 students and mentors!
Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers post-secondary student developers ages 18 and older stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together over 6000 successful student participants and over 3000 mentors from over 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!

We can now safely say that we have achieved the basic goals set during the start of the project.
Description
Neologism is a powerful codebase for publishing customised vocabularies that is already in quite some use in the RDF community, but using it in existing Drupal sites is difficult since there is no dedicated D7 Module. Moreover, the code is hosted on Google Code Repositories. To confuse matters further, there is a very old version of the neologism module on Drupal.org, which was not updated as the project progressed on Google Code. It also has several dependencies, a few of which are not even easily available on the internet since the previously existing links are now broken.
Carrying forward the work already put into Neologism, I intend to port it to D7 and making it available to the huge Drupal community and any existing Drupal sites that want to use customized RDF vocabularies.

This proposal is matching Gabor Hojtsy’s idea: http://groups.drupal.org/node/138219 .
Read more[GSoc Proposal] Version Control Activity logging, Activity Streams and Development Statistics
Short description
The Version Control API allows development-specific modules to interface with the server side of version control systems. We currently still lack the ability to really see what’s going on with a repository.
An activity stream is an overview of all actions in a system that are interesting to a user from his or her perspective.
This project includes a complementary module to the Version Control API that logs every change to every repository, displaying them and processing statistics about them.
