Welcome potential Google Summer of Code 2012 students and mentors!
SoC 2012 Announcements from Google.
If you already know what you want to do just create a discussion.
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-contribute IRC channel on freenode (irc://irc.freenode.net/drupal-contribute).
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT PROJECT IDEAS OR TO RE-SUBMIT IDEAS FROM LAST YEAR!

This was done before to make drupal 7 better. http://drupalcontribstatus.com is used to watch closer look at top project that mostly used.
C2DM
I created C2DM project page a few years ago. http://drupal.org/project/c2dm But, I never got time to write out this module. Now, I am pushing this idea to GSoc 2012, and looking for students to write out this implementation.
For more information about C2DM, please read http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/

New theme with resizable regions using mouse drag
Here's an idea, imagine creating a theme where you can resize your regions by simply dragging their borders, and have those changes saved in the DB associated with a node, allowing designers to quickly make custom page layouts without the need to modify any css/template.
Equally useful will be the ability to attach background images to any region on any node, since combined with the resizing capability it can minimize any css/template code changes for designers.

Module for project appraisal, project management and project evaluation
In this project we can create a module so that it will have the following features:
- Project Management (creation of project, project team(drupal users), client Name and time period of projects)
- User type( client, HR, Team Members, project lead)
- On the basis of every project the evaluation will be done.
- Every team member will got some points or ratings.
- Ratings will be from three sides one is from client, second from team mebers and third from management team like project lead.
- Feedback from the client(some evaluation forms)
Google Summer of Code is Back for 2012
Some of Drupal's Summer of Code success stories include:
 Angela Byron (webchick) the Drupal 7 co-maintainer, Director of Community Development at Acquia, a Google-O'Reilly Open Source Hall of Famer and a Drupal Association board member. She originally got her start in Drupal writing Quiz module for GSoC 2005. |
 Sumit Kataria, started as a GSoC student back in 2009 working on OAuth module, and now not only is one of the foremost experts in the Drupal community on mobile (look for his mobile apps for DrupalCon Denver in an app store near you!), but co-manages Drupal's involvement in GSoC. He works as a Drupal consultant with companies like CivicActions and Lullabot. |
 Bojan Zivanovic (bojanz) became a preeminent contributor to views and contributed to EntityFieldQuery for Drupal 7. |
Gábor Hojtsy, the co-maintainer of Drupal 6, and the Initiative Lead for the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative worked over GSoC in 2006 to get i18n in Drupal core in Drupal 6. He is now an engineer for Acquia. |
 Jimmy Berry (boombatower) was instrumental in the development of Drupal's automated testing framework, and he and his father Jim Berry (solotandem) were the first Google Summer of Code father/son team! :) They both offer testing-related services at http://boombatower.com. |
 Lin Clark (linclark) created SPARQL Views, making it possible to query SPARQL endpoints from Views, as part of GSoC 2010. Her demonstrations of Linked Data capabilities in Drupal have been published on IBM Developer Works. She is now an independent consultant working data publishing and consumption using Drupal. |

Version Abstraction For Module Customizations
One of the main problems faced by Drupal Developers today is that modules customized for a particular application cannot be updated to newer versions without loss of customizations. When updates to such modules are released for a newer version, the developer has to rewrite the customization from scratch in the new version.
I would be interested in working towards the creation of an abstraction layer/module, that would enable version free customizations of Drupal modules for Google Summer Of Code 2012.
Now, this module can basically work in the following way:-
Read moreTool for Suggesting Popular Modules for Core Integration
I would be interested in creating a tool which can initiated for the Drupal community website. It would sort out various modules available for Drupal, based on their popularity, and suggest on the most popular modules/themes which can be integrated with the Drupal core.

The tool what could automatically detect any unsatisfied requirements when installing Drupal modules and find a way to resolve by searching and suggesting to user to download&install required packages, could be really useful and helpful.

| sdboyer (and holtzermann17) | Git - improvements to versioncontrol, building a D7 port. This could be further integrated into a "drupal.org collaboration space" featuring things like Activity Streams and In-line code commenting |
Project wiki page template
This is still pertinent for GSoC 2013
All approved students will be asked to keep track of the pertinent details about their project in a central wiki page on this group. The following is a template for them to use to do this.
