Proposed Projects

Add your project below. There are already copied multiple templates to support you.

=================================

Project Number: 1

Project Name: Port Boost module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: Lee-

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP

Interested Students: P.Alex, gaurav281195, sourabpareek

Project Description:
Boost is an essential module for drupal sites where content doesn't change a lot. It speeds up the site by caching static html pages and serving them when requested. If pages are not cached, drupal calls the database on every request and renders the page which puts a lot of stress on the server.

Porting this module to d8 may require major changes in its structure. The way HTML is outputted in d8 is a little different than d7. Much time will be spent on finding how nodes are generated into html and how to cache them as files on local server. Diagrams and documentation will be essential prior to dev.

Project Goal:
Deliver a working port of the module for drupal 8 along with all the relevant documentation

Project Resources: Project page of the module

=================================

Project Number: 2

Project Name: Drupal Remote ( iOS app )

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors:

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Interested Students:

Project Skills/Prerequisite: iOS App development, Swift , Drupal 8 , REST

Project Description: This idea is inspired from a commercial iOS application named " Drupad -Drupal on the GO". The app will work with Drupal 8 backend with REST module. The idea is to provide full set of administration from the native iOS app. The features includes content creation/management , user management, checking logs, put site on maintenance mode, etc. More complex features can be implemented like push notification for major activities on drupal site. This kind of feature may require generalize module to be written for back end processing.

Project Goal: Project goal is to create a useful administration app for drupal admin. Student will learn about REST , Drupal 8 terminologies.

=================================

Project Number: 3

Project Name: Content Staging Solution for Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: dixon_, penyaskito

Project Difficulty: Difficult

Interested Student :Abhishek,Da Cui

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Object oriented PHP, SQL. Desired: REST API and HTTP protocol knowledge

Project Description: The Drupal 8 Configuration Management Initiative provided the ability to stage configuration across site environments. But there's no complete solution in place to stage and replicate content across environments or a network of sites. The idea is to fill this often requested gap with this GSoC project.

Project Goal: Develop a module that allows users to move content bi-directionally around different instances of the same site or a network of different sites by implementing the replication.io protocol and utilizing the framework provided by the Multiversion module and the standardized REST API provided by the Relaxed Web Services module.
A nice side effect of utilizing this standardized replication protocol is that it will become possible to develop offline capable front end apps based on the same solution.

Project Number: 4

Project Name: Issue queue cleanup & D8 port of Date module

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: varunity

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Interested Students:Nasir Zakka,nuwe,Da Cui,Navdeep Singh, Vijay Nandwani, P.Alex

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Drupal, PHP, MySQL

Project Description:
Date module is one of the top ten modules in terms of usage(453,041 sites) in Drupal 6 and 7. It provides basic&advanced date, calendar components.

Project Goal:
This project involves 2 major tasks.
1.Issue queue cleanup: There are 1200+ issues open in 6.x and 7.x versions and the list is growing everyday. Needs issue queue triage/fix/test/review.
2. Port to D8: Drupal 8 core has part of Date module's functionality. But still plenty of D7 functionalities left over and need to be ported as a contributed module. It would be great, if we can create(or use, if one exist already) a independent library to get all D7 functionalities.

=================================

Project Number: 5

Project Name: Site Audit: Static Analysis for Drupal

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: fluxsauce, populist

Project Difficulty: Intermediate

Interested Students: shivanshuag(alumni),Navdeep Singh
Project Skills/Prerequisite: OO PHP required. Drupal is a plus.

Project Description:
Site Audit is a Drupal static site analysis platform that generates reports with actionable best practice recommendations. Site Audit uses a technique known as static program analysis. This mechanism does not actually perform requests on the target site, and in doing so avoids the observer effect. It's non-intrusive, so no installation into the target site or configuration is required. The end result is a fast, repeatable report that can help detect common problems and provide introspection into Drupal sites. Reports can be generated in multiple formats, including plain text, HTML, and JSON.

Extending the existing reports and checks to cover more use cases and updating the module to Drupal 8 will be a good way to learn all about how a Drupal site. It will also be a good way to help the tens of thousands of sites that rely on Site Audit to do checks on their sites on both their own setups and the Pantheon hosting system. A stretch goal would be to create a hosted SaaS for aggregating Site Audit metrics to track changes over time and report issues as they come up.

Project Goal:
Release a new version of Site Audit that includes additional checks and reports for Drupal sites on both Drupal 7 and 8. Help with documentation and testing of the module. Add unit testing to existing checks.

Project Resources:
* Site Audit Module - https://www.drupal.org/project/site_audit
* Update to Drupal 8 - https://www.drupal.org/node/2424623
* Add Additional Tests - https://www.drupal.org/node/2372915
* Automatic Testing - https://www.drupal.org/node/2277591

Notes:
* Drupal Module Upgrader (https://www.drupal.org/project/drupalmoduleupgrader) is using the pharborist library (https://github.com/grom358/pharborist) . Be nice if Site Audit could use this library too so can share efforts. There is an indexer branch currently were have started adding static analysis so it can find all usages to a function or method.

=================================

Project Number: 6

Project Name: Port print module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: Sutharsan, jcnventura

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Drupal, PHP, Third-party Integration

Interested Students:zealfire andrei.dincu

Project Description:
This module allows you to generate the following printer-friendly versions of any node:
1.Printer-friendly version (webpage format) (at www.example.com/print/nid)
2.PDF version (at www.example.com/printpdf/nid)
3.EPUB version (at www.example.com/printepub/nid)
4.Send by email (at www.example.com/printmail/nid)
where nid is the node id of content to render.

Project Goal:
Deliver a working port of the module for drupal 8 along with all the relevant documentation. The module will have to be renamed since Symfony prevents the use of the reserved keyword "print".

=================================

Project Number: 7

Project Name: Port Panels module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: dsnopek, populist, japerry, other SCOTCH initiative participants

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Some experience using the Panels module in Drupal 7, object-oriented programming in PHP

Interested Students:Rahul Chowdhury(new student),Navdeep Singh

Project Description:

Panels is one of the most popular Drupal modules (currently #25 according to the number of installs on Drupal.org) and an important part of the Drupal ecosystem.

With the help of other modules, it allows administrators to create a "Panel" containing various pieces of content ("panes" or "blocks") placed in a layout, control styles and setup rules for visibility and different variations using a drag-and-drop editor. It's great for creating one-off landing pages, but can even be used for customizing forms, the display of content types or individual pieces of content, and much more.

While much of CTools and some of the necessary architecture to make Panels possible was moved into Drupal 8 core, the majority of the functionality will need to be implemented in contrib modules (like Panels).

So far, the "Panels in D8" effort (or the SCOTCH initiative) has been primarily focused on building Page Manager, which allows users to provide landing pages at a specific path (and to some extent the drag-and-drop UI), and Layout Plugin, a generic API for providing layouts.

We have started porting the Panels module, but at the moment it's just a stub to connect Page Manager and Layout Plugin. LOADS of work still needs to be done!

Project Goal:

Obviously, a module as big as Panels can't be finished to 100% parity in just 3 months, but we'd like to take Panels from a bare minimum stub that doesn't really do anything, to an initial implementation of the core pieces:

  • Initial implementations of all the remaining core architectural concepts used in Panels, which aren't in core or other modules, for example: style plugins (which can be assigned to blocks or regions to control appearance), and renderer plugins (which can be used to drastically change how Panels are rendered).
  • An initial implementation of migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 (more proof-of-concept than anything else)
  • An initial implementation of the "Mini panels" sub-module, which allows you to create a reusable piece of content (a "block") which is composed of other blocks in a layout. Basically, it's a Panel that can be used inside of other Panels.

Project Number: 8

Project Name: Port drupal-file-convert module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors:

Project Difficulty: Intermediate

Interested Students: andrei.dincu
,gaurav281195,Da Cui, P.Alex

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Drupal

Project Description: Drupal file convert module converts uploaded file to store (automatically or manually) in different file format. The conversion is performed by external service providers which provide API for it. The primary vendors are Google drive and ImageMagick. The use case of this module is when one is building CMS dealing with uploading documents (like research papers, resumes, etc.) which could be uploaded in multiple file formats, so one need to store it in particular format for ease of use. The work can be extended to convert .tex file (.tex is primarily used for writing in academic field) to .pdf file. Currently this module is compatible with D7 which supports few file formats. This module will be ported to Drupal 8 under this project.
Currently supported file formats on D7: .docx, .odt, .pdf, .txt, .jpg, .png
The deliverables in new module on D8: .docx, .odt, .pdf, .txt, .jpg, .png, .tex
The Image field and File field is handled separately.

Project Goal: To port drupal-file-convert module to Drupal 8 with mentioned features along with documentation.

Project Resources:

Project Number: 9

Project Name: Port Voting API module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: pcambra, penyaskito, torotil

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, databases

Interested Students: andrei.dincu,Da Cui, b4oshany, rafavermo
jeet09

Project Description:
Voting API is a widely used module in Drupal that serves as base of major modules such as Fivestar or Plus one. It doesn't expose any UI to the user but instead provides a solid framework for developers to build rating and raking systems.

The current module maintainer has expressed that he won't be able to port it to D8 https://www.drupal.org/node/2379167. This module will need a complete rewrite for Drupal 8 and loads of testing.

Project Goal:
Deliver a working port of the module for drupal 8 along with all the relevant documentation and tests

Project Resources: Project page of the module

=================================

Project Number: 10

Project Name: Port Quick Tabs module to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: katbailey

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Ctools, Js API , Ajax API

Interested Students: Palashvijay4O, P.Alex

Project Description: The Quick Tabs module allows you to create blocks of tabbed content, specifically views, blocks, nodes and other quicktabs. You can create a block on your site containing multiple tabs with corresponding content. Clicking on the tabs makes the corresponding content display instantly, using jQuery. You can select between two mode for this either AJAX or non-AJAX mode.

Project Goal: Deliver a working module for drupal 8 along with all the relevant documentation and tests.

Project Number: 11

Project Name: Making Drupal smarter by learning from user behaviour

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: askibinski

Interested Students: lhangea ,moshnoi

Project Difficulty:DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, bayesian algorithms, A/B testing, analytics.

Project Description:
Artificial intelligence is a hot topic these days and while a complete intelligent Drupal is currently beyond our reach, it would be great if we could parts of it "smarter": creating a generic solution using a learning algorithm (instead of simple a/b testing) which continuously evaluates variations of Call-To-Action (CTA) blocks presents the best performing version in combination with other visible blocks.

Project Goal:
- Develop an API which allows adding multiple variations of the same block (or anything that is a CTA (Call To Action)).
- The algorithm (maybe bayesian network: multi-armed bandit) would learn which of those variation gives a better conversion rate, would display that variation with a higher probability and we could have an administrable threshold after which only the best variation would be shown.
- Create a REST API and variate the content from javascript (maybe Anglular) so that this system would integrate well with reverse proxies like Varnish.
- Maybe use google analytics ease up our job, maybe an already implemented algorithm.

Project Number: 12

Project Name: Port Facet API

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: Miro Dietiker, Nick_vh

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Search / Facet technologies, Drupal, Simpletests

Interested Student :Abhishek

Project Description:
Search API was pushed into a new level for D8, yet still the views field integration is lacking. Often in Drupal 7 it was used in combination with Facet API to create advanced facet based search UIs. Facet API also works with Drupal core search.
There is an early start of a facet API port that still needs a lot of work.
This project should complete the basic / straight port and continuously refactor the framework to leverage common Drupal 8 patterns such as plugins. As a result, we have a powerful module. Extensive test coverage (simpletests, unit tests) is a requirement.

Project Goal: Create a working Facet API port with Search API support

Project Name: Port Mailhandler to Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: Miro Dietiker, possibly Dane Powell

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, MIME / Mailgzfh

Interested Students: nripeshtrivedi,
tonythomas01,Da Cui
Project Description:
The Mailhandler is the most popular module to react on incoming mails. There is no activity yet with a Drupal 8 port.
We have created a new pluggable framework inmail to process incoming mails that supports acquisition through IMAP or a pipe command directly from an MTA.
Our suggestion is to build a Drupal 8 port based on inmail.
The complexity of the mailhandler module will be significantly reduced.
A POP3 plugin for inmail is also a welcome feature.
Full (simpletest / unittest) coverage is a requirement.

Project Goal: Create a complete Drupal 8 port of Mailhandler based on inmail

Project Resources:

Project Number: 14

Project Name: drupal.org patch patrol

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: Miro Dietiker

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: git expert, python, dreditor

Interested student: rafavermo

Project Description:
A proof of concept started at patch patrol on github where znerol has built python scripts to analyse patches and git repositories to extract information. One of the key ideas is that we understand patch dependencies/collisions, such as a commit X leads to patch Y..Z that no more apply.

A new platform will fetch through drupal.org APIs recent issue activity and extract patches. Patches are analysed and stored as structural data. It will also continuously pull latest versions of the projects tracked.
The platform will offer services to provide status info about a patch like
- does it still apply to latest HEAD?
- with what issues / patches will it collide?
Dreditor should connect to this service and enrich the UI with relevant data.
As a stretch goal it can also interact with drupal.org and automatically set issues to needs work that do no more apply or provide a reroll if possible.

Project Goal: Provide a service that understands / interpretes all drupal.org patches and exposes valuable data through dreditor

Project Name: Embed module API

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: cs_shadow and davereid

Interested Student : Shivam Agarwal, Gaurav Yadav , Kushal Bhatia ,Da Cui, P.Alex ,rafavermo

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP and basic knowledge of Javascript/jQuery

Project Description: Entity Embed module provided certain API level plugins, forms etc. which should be abstracted out to a separate module in order for other modules to also use it. Hence the idea of this project is to abstract the buttons, embed form, and display plugins from entity_embed into a generic "Embed" module that can be used by both entity_embed, url_embed, and other embeddables in Drupal 8.

This module will serve mostly as an API module and will not perform much on its own but will provide solid APIs to all other modules which aim to provide any kind of 'Embed' functionality. While abstracting out plugins from the Entity Embed module, they'll need to be generalized so that they can be used easily be other modules also and are not strongly coupled to the Entity Embed module in any manner. The things that we want to abstract out are: Embed Types, Embed Forms, Embed Display and Editor Button. Details on what these terms mean and what we want to do with them can be found in the architecture discussion of Embed module.

If you're interested in this project, have any issues or want to discuss any of the aspects, feel free to ping 'cs_shadow' or 'davereid' or 'slashrsm' in '#drupal-google' or in '#drupal-media'.

Project Goal: Develop the Embed module which will provide a framework for various different types of 'embedded things' in WYSIWYG editors, common functionality, interfaces, and standards.

Project Resources:
- Entity Embed module: https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_embed
- Current architecture discussion: Embed Module

Project Number: 16

Project Name: URL embed module for Drupal 8

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: cs_shadow and davereid

Interested Students: prateekMehta, nicoleheard, Abhishek,Da Cui, P.Alex, rafavermo

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP and basic knowledge of Javascript/jQuery

Project Description: This module should be the defacto way to embed an URL using WYSIWYG or a link field. This module will deprecate the ['oembed' module for Drupal 7] (https://www.drupal.org/project/oembed). This module will use the API provided by the 'Embed' module, which is also incidentally another GSoC project for this year but that should not obstruct the its development, at least in the initial stages.

Project Name: Assisting with development of Entity Browser

Project Approved by Admins? YES

Project Mentors: slashrsm

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP and basic knowledge of Javascript/jQuery

Interested Students: corykitchens, JayeshSolanki,gaurav281195,Mohamed

Project Description: Entity browser is a contrib module for Drupal 8 that tries to provide powerful and flexible framework for searching and selecting of entities. There are many possible use cases that entity browser wants to solve:
- select an image to be embedded in WYSIWYG editor,
- select few related content items and "attach" them to another content,
- upload few images, then select few more from library of existing media and use all of them in a media slideshow,
- search YouTube for videos and attach them to a piece of content,
- ...

Basic implementation of entity browser is already in place, but we need to invest a lot of work to make it fully functional. As a GSoC student you'll work with other contributor to improve various pieces of the module. This will make the project very interesting and diverse (you will get to work with PHP, JS and even some UX design).

If you're interested in this project, have any issues or want to discuss any of the aspects, feel free to ping 'slashrsm' in '#drupal-google' or in '#drupal-media'.

Project Goal: You will, depending on your interests and experience, set the goals together with your mentors. You can expect to:
- help improving look and feel of entity reference field widget for Entity browser,
- write integration with entity_embed,
- improve appearance of entity browser in iFrame and modal display modes,
- implement tabs for selection between widgets in entity browser,
- implement configuration UI,
- integrate entity browser with one or more of the full-featured media solutions,
- write test coverage,
- ...

We are open for your suggestions too. If you see anything that could be added and/or improved in entity browser please let us know. We want to make the project interesting to you and we need your feedback in order to achieve that.

Interested students: ameen

More detail: https://www.drupal.org/node/2458153

Project Description: Porting the node-hierarchy module to Drupal 8.

Project Goal: Node hierarchy is poised to take advantage of a vast number of Entity API and menu link improvements in Drupal 8. The Drupal 8 version will rely on far less custom code and instead leverage core sub-systems to provide an efficient system for managing content hierarchies.

Project Resources: Path module in core and menu link config (contrib) provide great pointers. Path module delegates its storage to the core Entity API (in Drupal 7 it did a lot of heavy lifting) and Node Hierarchy should be able to do similar, declaring the parent as a first-class entity-reference property of the Node object. In Drupal 7 node-hierarchy has to do a lot of work to keep menu-links that represent the tree in sync with the node. In Drupal 8 menu links are plugins and Node Hierarchy will be able to provide a derivative for each node with a parent. Similar patterns for derivative menu links exist in Views (core) and Menu Link Config (contrib).

Project Skills/Prerequisite: OO PHP required, Drupal recommended

Interested Students: banviktor, P.Alex

Project Description: The Security Review module automates testing for many of the easy-to-make mistakes that render your site insecure. Security Review runs the following checks:

  • Safe file system permissions (protecting against arbitrary code execution)
  • Text formats don't allow dangerous tags (protecting against XSS)
  • PHP or Javascript in content (nodes and comments and fields in Drupal 7)
  • Safe error reporting (avoiding information disclosure)
  • Secure private files
  • Only safe upload extensions
  • Large amount of database errors (could be sign of SQLi attempts)
  • Large amount of failed logins (could be sign of brute-force attempts)
  • Responsible Drupal admin permissions (protecting against access misconfiguration)
  • Username as password (protecting against brute-force)
  • Password included in user emails (avoiding information disclosure)
  • PHP execution (protecting against arbitrary code execution)
  • Base URL set (protecting against some phishing attempts)
  • Views access controlled (protecting against information disclosure)

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

Interested Students: P.Alex, corykitchens

Project Description: Meetup.com is a 3rd party website for orgnaizing events or "meetups". Did you know that multiple meetups are happening all over the world as we speak? Interestingly the Drupal community found many community members by posting Drupal user group listings on meetup.com. Fast forward several years and there are no hundreds of Drupal user groups on meetup.com. Meetup organizers have been wishing for a module to import event details from meetup into Drupal. 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 site and keep event details in sync if updated. Save meetup organizers time by automatically importing event details into Drupal via a custom built module. An important goal of project is ensuring event details are updated when meetup.com event is updated too. Project goal is only importing meetup.com event data into Drupal. Project goal is NOT exporting event data from Drupal into meetup.com. Project goal require a UI to configure module options, but design/theme/css is NOT focus of project.

You'll first need to develop the module for Drupal 8 and then backport it to Drupal 7.

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript knowledge.

Project Description:
A Drupal Module that Edit CSS in the browser. One can click on the html page
and select an element. A panel with all style is opened and one can add
styles to that object by clicking on user friendly panel or/and typing CSS
properties and values. Also can be added a colorpicker for color properties
and a plugin that upload images to site for background property.
How Styles are saved?
First possibility:
Styles, selectors and pages where style are active are stored in database.
And with a hook_alter all the styles are put on the style attribute of the
elements when the page is loaded.( Maybe will be a bad site performance)
Second approach:
Styles are stored in the CSS files . When page are loaded the CSS file are
added with drupal_add_css in a hook_alter. (Can be conflicts with theme CSS
files)
Third approach:
Make a patch that edit the current CSS files.
Why is it a useful module?
One can see in the browser how the style are changed. Not need to edit CSS by
coding. No-programmers could change small bugs on the site.

    Hello! My name is Cory Kitchens (funkykong on IRC). I am currently a sophomore at CSU Bakersfield studying Computer Science. Before I learned programming, I utilized Drupal to establish a website for company I was working for at that time. Because of that project, I became inspired to become a programmer and after much trial and error, I decided to build a solid foundation of my skills by enrolling in an accredited Computer Science Program. Since then, I’ve established a set of skills in web-based technologies such as JavaScript and PHP. I recently built an application to help facilitate classroom collaboration for remote students. The project was built on NodeJS and featured a RESTful API as well as some AngularJS functionality. I find that the web as a platform, allows developers to build innovative products with a global outreach to its users. It is exciting to be apart of the community and I look forward to contributing to the open source community.

Hello
My name is Shivam Agarwal, I am from India and very enthusiastic about participating with Drupal under Google Summer of Code 2015. I have lots of experience of working with PHP,JavaScript, Jquery. Developed some pet projects based on this technology. I am interested in project #15 - Embed module API, project #24 - Port AddThis module to Drupal 8 and project #29 - Port AdSense module to drupal 8. I can work on any of them based on thier priorities of completion. Please let me know which of the project has higher priority for drupal.

Thanks

There's no priority as such

There's no priority as such for the projects. For all purposes, you can assume that all of these 30 projects have equal priority for us. You should work on the project that interests you most.

Thanks for help

Sharemessage / sharrre

Welcome! If you are interested in addthis, you might want to have a look at our approach to sharing with ShareMessage that has already a D8 port. Proposals are not limited to ideas on the list. We are mostly interested in the next big step of making our sharing module services provider independent, see issue https://www.drupal.org/node/2165561.

(Yes, this is a major refactoring and i would consider it a feasible scope of GSoC.)

Hi,

I am working with the ladder now. I am unable to comment or update the issue-summary that i posted on the sandbox issue queue. I am getting errors like: "There was a problem with your form submission. Please wait 22044 seconds and try again." The link to the issue: https://www.drupal.org/node/2447945

anti-spam

Hi!

That will be the anti-spam mechanisms doing their job. It was pretty annoying for me too. What you need is the 'confirmed' role applied on your account.
You can request it here.
But for me that also resulted in getting a little timeout from posting so if that doesn't work either for the 3rd or 4th time I suggest you asking someone on IRC.

Cheers!

same error:

Sir
I am a very enthusiastic member of open source community and have been following Drupal project from some time now. I am 1st year Computer Science undergraduate student at Thapar University, Patiala, India. I am a web designer/developer have good work experience(CSS3/Bootstrap/HTML5/jQuery) and also have programming experience(PHP/C++).
I have read about porting AddThis Module(also adding features to it Project 26) and am very interested in it, I have also checked out the node at https://www.drupal.org/node/2199393 and think it is very good,and the features mentioned as optional are infact very importatnt (such as Analytics API,Welcome Bar API).I would also like to make the widget responsive as it actually happens on AddThis's own website.
Therefore, I would like to contribute to this project as a complete set including the optional features and hence, undertake this project as my Google summer of Code project. Please guide me how pursue this as this is my first experience working in GSoC.
Thanking You

Yours Sincerely

Hi Sachin,

You need to sign up on Melange to submit your proposal. You can do that on this page: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015. Once you're signed up, you'll be able to see link to submit your project idea on your Melange's GSoC 2015 dashboard. You'll need to complete your Melange profile first though. If you have any doubts regarding the project or need to chalk out a few details, feel free to ping me (cs_shadow) on our IRC channel #drupal-google on Freenode. If you some issues with Melange or application submission, you can ask in #gsoc channel instead.

Yes the site is http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015 more specifically.
And you should fill the template (https://groups.drupal.org/node/411293) with your project details and set it as proposal content. (you can get an idea about how you should fill it from the samples :) )
