Google Summer of Code 2014 - Task Organization Wiki

Utilize this wiki and template to add/organize potential tasks for Google's Summer of Code 2014 contest. We need at least 30 solid project ideas to help our chances of being accepted. Recent years of GSoC have shown lower participation and we hope to change that with the 10 year anniversary!

Deadline

Deadline to submit project ideas to our core Drupal/GSoC group for review is Wednesday February 12th 23:00 UTC (we need 48 hours to review final submissions). By the deadline all you need is a good idea, not an entire project planned out (yet). Please edit this wiki and add your projects. If you want to mentor the task, add your name. If you DON'T want to be a mentor, leave the field blank as another mentor might be interested if project is selected.

How to think of tasks?

• Drupal 8 is here! There is TONS work to be done!
• Have a module you wish was ready for Drupal 8?
• Maintain a module and need help taking it to the next level?
• Have you ever said "Drupal can't do that?"
• Tasks from previous years/organizations are listed at legacy summer of code websites.
• Projects from previous Drupal GSoC: 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005
• Example of KDE whom is accepted into GSoC yearly @ http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2014/Ideas and http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2013/Ideas

Guidelines

Anyone with a drupal.org account is allowed to post ideas into this wiki. Even if the idea is basic or not complete, please add whatever you have. Additional mentors are available if accepted with blank mentor. Students are encouraged to contact the project author via drupal.org contact page.

Information for Students

Drupal Ladder for GSoC Students and (for GCI Students) are great places for students and mentors to understand the type of skills expected going into any type of task/project. Students are required to finish entire "GSoC Student Ladder" to officially submit project application.

Information for Mentors

Melange's GSoC Mentor Guide is best place to learn from a contest point of view, stepping through the Drupal Ladder for GSoC Mentors provides helpful resources on being a mentor, or feel free to post in this group with any questions you have from a Drupal point of view.

Proposed Projects

Add your project below. There are already copied multiple templates to support you (Currently located at No. 13).

=================================
Project Number: 1

Project Name: Event Description Generator Module (Drupal 7/8)

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: Slurpee

Project Difficulty: EASIER

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, CSS, Javascript, Drupal module development, Drupal theme layouts, structuring and displaying data.

Project Description: Create a Drupal 7/8 module that can be added to any site and contributed to drupal.org for anyone to download. The purpose of this module is for any user/meetup group or any type of organization that displays event listings on line to display event information in a web2.0 world. Too often event organizers are stuck in text editors creating elaborate listings of data often found in our Drupal sites. Create a system that provides a web interface providing event organizers a simple point/click method of entering event data and displaying it in multiple options. Final results are provided to event organizer as an easy to use copy/paste text, HTML, or download format via Drupal web UI.

Project Goal: Goal is to save event organizers time. This is an important Drupal task as Drupal meetup groups are and have always been an important strength of our community. Let's save organizers time by providing a simple interface to input event details, ensure every important detail about an event is required, then display the data in an easy to organize user interface.

Don't limit this to Drupal event organizers, but anyone in the world organizing events. An assumption is that various types of events listings can be created with contextual fields based on type of event (user group, conference, training, multiple days, recurring events, etc).

Project Resources: First step is to research as many user groups as possible with a focus on Drupal groups (groups.drupal.org is great place to start). Track down event listings in mailing list archives, facebook, g+, twitter, forums, newsgroups, whatever. Do you notice any information with missing or confusing layouts? Do you see any important information about the event missing from any postings in your research? After research it will be fairly clear to see which types of attributes/fields are required for the module. Learn about basic Drupal and configuring basic content types with fields such as Date, Link, Phone, and more. After learning how to input all of the data into a node, you will start researching the Drupal theme system which can change depending on version of Drupal. Learn how to move the event data around the page and organize it into specific layouts with CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, or whichever opensource tool/library you prefer. Other aspects include providing the user multiple layout and export options. In addition, preparing the module for Drupal standard user admin interface options will be a good learning experience too.

=================================
Project Number: 2

Project Name: Native Android library for Drupal Web Services

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: skyredwang

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Drupal REST web services, Drupal Architecture, Android Development, Asynchronous Programming, HTTP request, Advanced Authentication, Java

Project Description: Re-architect and refactor the existing DrupalCloud library on Android to build a better library for future Android App accessing Drupal via REST services. Also, the project needs to support modular authentication, for example, HTTP Basic Auth, Session Auth, Oz, etc.

Project Goal:
1. Add support for Drupal 8 Core REST Services
2. Re-architect the existing library to have a better EXCEPTION handling
3. Re-architect the existing library to have a pluggable layer of abstraction for authentication
4. Rebuild built-in HTTP Basic Auth and Session Auth with Drupal
5. Improve and Complete the support for Drupal 7 Services
6. Improve documentation and coding examples

Drupal 7 Services Module: https://drupal.org/project/services

=================================
Project Number: 3

Project Name: Wysiwyg inline entity (D8)

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: slashrsm

Project Difficulty: medium to difficult

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Javascript, jQuery, CKeditor

Project Description

Lots of content editors want to work on their content via WYSIWYG editor. This is not limited to text-only data, but we want to support all sorts of
different content. Most obvious use-case if definitely embeded media (inline images, videos, ...). There are a lot of modules that try to provide this functionality in D7: Media, Scald, Asset (all media-related), Node embed, etc. All this modules are focused on one type of content only. If one wants to embed both images and nodes has to enable at least two modules that do almost the same code. This results in a lot of redundant code and non-consistent experience.

Another problem in D7 are Wysiwyg editors that are not standardized. In Drupal 8 we decided to support CKeditor only. This makes development and maintenance of Wysiwyg-related modules much easier.

For D8 we want to create a standardized solution for inline embedding to Wysiwyg, which will support all entity types. This reduces amount of redundant code, make user experience standardized, development and maintenance easier and provides solid ground for other modules to work on top of.

Project Goal:

Project should deliver working framework for wysiwyg embeds. It should support all entity types in general. Framework should provide basic APIs, basic intergation with Drupal 8 CKeditor and basic rendering (display) configuration. All parts of the framework should be pluggable, which will allow other modules to extend, provide new features and improve experience.

=================================
Project Number: 4

Project Name: securesite

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: Lee-

Project Difficulty: EASIER

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Understanding of PHP, basic HTTP authentication

Project Description: securesite is commonly used to provide HTTP authentication (password protection) to a Drupal site without requiring modifying the web server configuration to make it happen.

Project Goal: Have a D8 version of securesite.

Project Resources: The original module will be the primary resource for this project. The student will need to make necessary code changes to bring the module in to compatibility with Drupal 8. The original module can be found here:
http://drupal.org/project/securesite
A Wikipedia article describing basic access authentication:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
Apache documentation describing how to make it work via an Apache configuration:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/auth.html

=================================
Project Number: 5

Project Name: Offline Sync

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: varunity

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: php, mysql, cms

Project Description: The idea is to create a drupal 7(or 8) module which allows persons to create many copies of a website for offline distributed content management. This would work by having one central website that all data is ultimately fed to. The other 'satellite' websites(which can operate offline) have their own databases but keep track all new edits and content that it created. Once one of these sites goes online, an admin will have the option of synchronizing their data with the central 'main' site. This solution can leverage the migrate module to achieve this: https://drupal.org/project/migrate

Project Goal: This project will allow for distributed teams of persons to author content on a website whether or not they are online so that they can operate effectively in scenarios where there is not always internet access. This will also have the added benefit of helping some drupal developers workflow between development, staging and production environments. One can even imagine being able to share a working drupal site on a USB stick.

Project Resources: Start by becoming familiar with the migrate module (https://drupal.org/project/migrate) which is working on becoming a part of Drupal 8 core. The general concept here has been discussed in a couple places on d.o. eg. https://drupal.org/node/2012148 .

=================================
Project Number: 6

Project Name: VoIPDrupal: Dial First Call and Send SMS via Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: slurpee

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, API, VoIP, Twilio, Tropo, SQL, Symfony, SMS, Phone calls,

Project Description: VoIP Drupal is a versatile open source communication toolkit that adds the power of voice and Internet-telephony to Drupal websites. It can be used to build hybrid applications that combine regular touchtone phones, the Web, SMS, and other channels in a variety of ways, facilitating community outreach and providing an online presence even to those who are technically challenged, or who do not have regular access to computers.

Project Goal: Make the first phone call and send first SMS message from a Drupal 8 site. Project requirement is NOT to create a fully stable module that any user will be able to easily utilize. Basic user interfaces will be required (example typing sms data), but are not the focus of project. Project deliverable is committing code to drupal.org in the voipdrupal repo with a development version of module following d.o coding standards with proper documentation of how to make a phone call and send an sms in Drupal 8.

Project Resources: "VoIP Drupal" is a module based on a collection of various modules depending on your goal. Example, if your VoIP provider is Twilio, you need to utilize/create Twilio code. If interested in working with Twilio, look at modules for previous versions of Drupal.

Project Name: meetup.com import sync for Drupal 7

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: Lee-, Dougvann

Project Difficulty: EASIER

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, API, 3rd party services, evens, data import, data sync, meetup.com

Project Description: Write a Drupal 7 module that can be downloaded by anyone from drupal.org to easily integrate meetup.com event import and syncing.

Project Goal: Allow meetup.com organizers to easily import event listings into a Drupal 7 site and keep event details in sync if updated.

Project Resources: I have already written a similar module for a client site in Drupal 6 (not on d.o (ask for code if interested)). The meetup API is very easy to understand and work with in Drupal. Setup proper access on drupal.org to commit code for others to download module. Since your module will be contributed to the community to be openly downloaded, it is essential to write proper documentation (video helps!) and provide admin user interfaces for non-technical users to import events.

Project Name: Port Apache Solr AJAX to Drupal 7

Project Approved by Admins? YNO

Project Mentors: SamerOnline, serpicody

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP experience is main requirement. AJAX is required to keep the "searching active on one page". Solr is a big part of this project. Previous experience working with search systems such as Solr will help.

Project Description: Create a Drupal 7 module port of the current Drupal 6 module already accomplishing this functionality.

Project Goal: Allow users to utilize Apache Solr searching functionality within an active page using AJAX.

Project Resources: First step is to setup a testing server with Drupal and Apache Solr in Drupal 6 to see this type of functionality. It important to see how Solr runs parallel to Drupal and how/why Solr creates indexes. After you have a good understanding of Solr searching works in Drupal, then spend time reviewing the current Drupal 6 version of the module preparing for a port into Drupal 7. api.drupal.org will help show the diff between Drupal versions.

Project Name: Port Disqus integration module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: slashrsm

Project Difficulty: EASIER

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, JavaScript

Project Description:

Disqus is a 3rd party system for comments. It is used on various websites. There is already an integration module available for Drupal 7, which is used on almost 14,000 sites. We need to prepare this module for next major version of Drupal.

Project Goal:

Integration module currently supports Disqus comments only on Nodes and Users. We should generalize this to all entities. Entity API in Drupal 8 is much more powerful than the one in Drupal 7 core, which should help us achieve that. Project should also utilize D8 migrate subsystem to implement migrations from Drupal native commenting system to Disqus (and possibly vice-versa).

Any other integrations with Disqus API would be a bonus.

Project Name: Drupal 8 media subsystem

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: slashrsm

Project Difficulty: MEDIUM to DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, JavaScript, CSS, jQuery

Project Description:

Media has been a challenging part of Drupal for a long time. For Drupal 8 we decided to go with new solution, that will be built using knowledge and experience from all solutions that are available for Drupal 7. This project will focus on this new solution. There are many subsystems which can be part of this project. This project will likely focus on one or two subsystems only, which will be decided together with a student (preferably before the student application). It is also possible to split this project into more smaller project that focus on different parts of the media ecosystem.

(Very simplified) structure of the system:

Project Goal:
Deliver one (or two) working subsystems of Drupal 8 media ecosystem. Sub-systems include:
- editorial experience (media library, media selection, upload, re-usage)
- display (render) configuration
- migration scripts from D7 solutions like Media/File entity, Scald, ...
- 3rd party providers integrations (YouTube, Vimeo, ...)

Project Name: Migrate DrupalLadder.org to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: areke?? Slurpee

Project Difficulty: EASIER

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Data migration, version upgrade, Drupal 8, Symfony, structure, site building.

Project Description: drupalladder.org is a central place for people to find and contribute lessons and materials. drupalladder.org is built on the Drupal Ladder distro, which people can download and use on their personal computers to work through the Drupal Ladder lessons. Semi-related, Google Code-In students finished many tasks creating and updating lessons/ladders. If the project seems too basic, add a requirement that lessons are responsively viewed on mobile/tablet devices? Discussing a hosting infrastructure upgrade, researching/recommending providers, and accomplishing the system administration tasks will help take project up a few levels with exposure to plenty of open-source tools along the way.

Project Goal: Migrate DrupalLadder.org into newest version Drupal 8.

Project Resources: Visit/review drupalladder.org and finish the "GSoC Student Ladder". It is clear to see the benefits of ladder system with the potential it contains, but is a bit clunky. Examples, the URLs of lessons/ladders are random characters, site is running multiple version updates behind, and lacks proper permissions blocking new contributor access. Layout with UI/UX is a bit basic too and not mobile friendly. Plus site is not running on the newest version of Drupal which should be encourage moving forward. A great place to start learning more about the program is @ https://groups.drupal.org/drupal-ladder and of course creating an account at drupalladder.org. It will even help to finish a few of the ladders to help get started with Drupal faster. Do a bit more research on drupal.org about site migrations between Drupal versions. Which modules are running on druapalladders.org now that are not ready in Drupal 8 yet?

Project Name: Port XML Sitemap to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: OPEN

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Search Engines (google, bing), XML, 3rd party integration, PHP

Project Description: The XML sitemap module creates a sitemap that conforms to the sitemaps.org specification. This helps search engines to more intelligently crawl a website and keep their results up to date. The sitemap created by the module can be automatically submitted to Ask, Google, Bing (formerly Windows Live Search), and Yahoo! search engines. The module also comes with several submodules that can add sitemap links for content, menu items, taxonomy terms, and user profiles, but purpose og GSoC project is NOT to worry about submodules.

Project Goal: Create a Drupal 8 module for the XML Sitemap without additional submodules. It will be important to update documentation.

Project Resources: Start by reviewing the module in previous versions of Drupal @ https://drupal.org/project/xmlsitemap. The module page has plenty of documentation and ways to get started. In fact, a GSoC student worked on this in a previous version of Drupal in 2005.

Visit sitemaps.org to understand the specification. Also, please read the included README.txt( http://drupalcode.org/project/xmlsitemap.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/7.x-2... ), the handbook documentation( https://drupal.org/documentation/modules/xmlsitemap), and the current list of known issues( https://drupal.org/node/482550 and https://drupal.org/project/issues/xmlsitemap?text=&status=Open&prioritie... ) for more information.

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Objective-C/Willingness to learn iOS Development

Project Description: Drupal 8's REST API for web services is new, and needs examples of how to connect to Drupal from an iOS app to retrieve content, post content, login, logout, and other operations. Because all Drupal sites work similarly, building an open source iOS application that can be used as a boilerplate for future mobile applications will help spark iOS app development for Drupal 8

Project Goal: The project deliverable will be a working iOS app that connects to Drupal 8, and provides content creation, editing, and retrieval, along with user registration, login, and logout. The project deliverables are somewhat open ended, in that the app can be useful with a minimum amount of functionality, or additional features can be added as the project progresses, for instance, adding camera integration.

Project Resources: Similar to the Android GSoC project above, this project will use
Drupal 8 REST - https://drupal.org/node/2096019

Project Name: Port faq.module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: chicagowebmgmt

Project Difficulty: EASIER

Project Skills/Prerequisite: php, symfony, module port, drupal 8

Project Description: The Frequently Asked Questions (faq) module allows users, with appropriate permissions, to create question and answer pairs which they want displayed on the 'faq' page. The 'faq' page is automatically generated from the FAQ nodes configured. Basic Views layouts are also provided and can be customised via the Views UI (rather than via the module settings page).

Some feel porting faq is an easier project, but we have beneficial experience improving basic modules and this is a very popular module. In addition to porting module into newest version of Drupal, a secondary goal is introducing a student new to Drupal that can learn and accomplish majority of project on their own. This is important as we have had awesome experiences retaining students as contributors in past years of GSoC even on basic projects. Not to mention we don't want to scare away every possible student with too many difficult projects. If you think project is too basic, rest assured student will be migrating additional faq submodules related such as faqfield and possibility of adding new functionality into the module.

Project Goal: #1 Port the FAQ module into Drupal 8. #2 Introduce a student new to Drupal that can learn and accomplish majority of project on their own. #3 port additional faq submodules related to faq such as faqfield. #4 provide idea of new functionality to faq module and implement it.

Project Resources: First step is to setup a Drupal 7 site and build a faq page. A mentor can set this up in a matter of minutes for you. Second step is reviewing the module code in IDE of your choice and learn how everything works. Third step is reviewing api.drupal.org for differences in code between D7 and D8.

Project Name: TMGMT semantic language processing

Project Approved by Admins? YES/NO

Project Mentors: miro_dietiker, Berdir

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Drupal, Semantics, Language processing

Project Description:
TMGMT (Translation Management Tool http://drupal.org/project/tmgmt) is a module to unify the translation experience for managers and translators. While the fundamental process (collecting translatable items, order translation with a service provider, review result) is in place, the system still has no own understanding of the payload of the content to translate.

Translating free text from a WYSIWYG body field with formatted HTML is a pain. The recent XLIFF HTML masking support introduced tries to address the issue with first steps.

To correctly solve the issue, we need an understanding of source item text formats and their domain (semantics of the format like HTML) and have a parser to traverse the natural language source - considering language specific aspects.

Once we are at this level, we can detect sentences and can break content into segments. This allows us to interact with translation memories and offer a next generation of translation editor that replaces the plain text edit textarea.

Project Goal: Implement language processing plugins to parse natural language and identify fragments (sentences) while considering source domain markup (HTML, ITS http://www.w3.org/TR/its/, ). Provide a translation blob / field editor that supports the translator and reviewer with an advanced UI interacting with translation memory matches, thesauri, synonyms and variants.

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Drupal

Project Description: There're lots of project management tools / ticketing systems already implemented, you can check all of them here https://groups.drupal.org/node/17948. We want to build the very fundamental platform like Drupal Commerce for E-commerce solutions. If you want to use Drupal as platform for your PM tools/Ticketing system, you will use this module (set of modules in fact) the same as you use Drupal Commerce for your e-commerce website. Also, we plan to build distribution which will deliver most of functionality out of box.

Project Goal: For start we should make big work on architecture, we need to investigate existing popular solutions (not just drupal), like redmine, JIRA, find all their advantages and lacks, describe them. Next thing is understanding of what is common in all this systems and what should be included in project. After that we should plan the way we want to implement it in Drupal way, as a result we should have the very basic module, which will probably provide few functionality, but that's just a beginning.

Project Resources: We don't want to invent the bicycle, we want to re-use previous experience and work of developers, so this page https://groups.drupal.org/node/17948 - is our main page.

Of course, we should get know the most popular implementations like:

Project Name: Gatling Drupal scenario recorder

Project Approved by Admins? NO

Project Mentors: Aron Novak

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP

Project Description: Gatling is an open-source stress tool which is suitable to learn about the scalability of your website. It comes with a HTTP proxy that can create so-called scenarios without writing a line of Scala code. The scenario is a series of actions - HTTP requests - that's performed. Those scenarios can be executed in many different ways in parallel to stress the site and the environment. When you record a session this way, for authenticated Drupal users, it won't be suitable, for example because Drupal protects form misuse by form_build_id, there's an ever-changing component in the POST submissions. We can envision a Drupal 7 module that acts as a Scenario recorder for the Gatling tool, focusing only on queries towards PHP generated pages. The site administrator can choose which user (session) to track, afterwards every action by that is put into the scenario.

Project Goal: Provide a user-friendly Drupal module that can record the requests in such a way that it's re-playable by Gatling.

It would be nice to provide both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 versions too, but the task is complex enough without dealing with a non-released version of Drupal.

Project Name: Port Module GELF into Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES/NO

Project Mentors: sandipmkhairnar

Project Difficulty: EASIER/DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Symfony, SQL, CMS, Drupal

Project Description: This module allows you to send watchdog messages to Graylog2 using the Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF) format.

Syslog is okay for logging system messages of your machines or network gear. GELF is a great choice for logging from within applications. There are libaries and appenders for many programming languages and logging frameworks so it is easy to implement. You could use GELF to send every exception as a log message to your Graylog2 cluster. You don't have to care about timeouts, connection problems or anything that might break your application from within your logging class because GELF can be sent via UDP.

Graylog - Field-tested open source data analytics system used and trusted all around the world. Search your logs, create charts, send reports and be alerted when something happens. All running on the existing JVM in your datacenter.
