Organization Name
Drupal

Description
Drupal is a web content management system and web application framework written in PHP. It is also a vibrant, growing, and fun community of programmers, activists and communicators. The core Drupal software is a framework to power community driven web site software, and includes features such as internationalization, tagging, and an extensive roles and permissions system. The highly extensible architecture supports well over a thousand sub-projects in the form of contributed modules and themes, so there's something for everyone.

Why has your org chosen to participate in Google Code-in?
GSoC and GHOP have resulted in attracting and retaining some of our most dedicated contributors, and we aim to repeat these successes yet another time. During GHOP, some of our participants blew us away by finishing tasks we thought would last about a week in just a few hours, producing work beyond what was expected, and taking on tasks of great complexity. The legacy of GHOP, in the form of improvements to our project and participants who remain active in the Drupal community today, has made a huge difference to Drupal, and we'd love to participate again.

Please list the years your organization has participated in Google Summer of Code.
Drupal participated in Google Summer of Code in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.

What is the main development mailing list for your organization? This question will be shown to students who would like to get more information about applying to your organization for Google Code-in 2010-11. If your organization uses more than one list, please make sure to include a description of the list so students know which to use.
Our main development mailing list is development@drupal.org - http://lists.drupal.org/mailman/listinfo/development.

What is the main IRC channel for your organization?
Our main IRC channel is #drupal.

Please provide a link to your task ideas page. This is much like the ideas page for Google Summer of Code but should include tasks in all of the 8 categories sorted by difficulty level.
Our initial list is located at http://drupal.org/project/issues/gci
[TODO - IHow do we organize this list by difficulty? ~cyberswat]

Using the issue queue

I think we can use tags for this - we could tag an issue in any queue GCI-X. For difficulty, not sure how to do this but we could potentially hijack the priority of the issue to be the difficulty level. Then, we could use something like this to look at issues (we could search for GCI-X, GCI-Y, etc, or we could do them separately.

Alternately, we could again hijack the priority, but have the type in the title: [GCI-type]. That way we can search for just GCI or GCI-type, and on the overview page as linked above, we can see the category of each item which is something wanted above.

I was thinking we could do it

I was thinking we could do it more like we did in GHOP - have a central project where tasks are proposed; once approved, they go off to the appropriate queue. Maybe we can add a set of tags as necessary for tracking.

That sounds fine as well.

How do we organize the task

How do we organize the task list by difficulty as Google is asking?

We're tagging them

We're tagging them using issue tags gci-easy, gci-medium, gci-medium-hard, and gci-hard.
