Vaibhav Jain (https://www.drupal.org/u/vaibhavjain)

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Symfony, Drupal 8.

Project Description: Stock API provides other modules with a facility to incorporate stock data in them. It receives market data from Google Finance to display live stock market prices from various market exchanges. The module is already working in Drupal 7, but this GSoC project is to port the module into Drupal 8. Install the Drupal 7 version module, learn how it works, and write patches for bugs in the issue queue. Start contacting contributors already working on the module. Then build a plan to rebuild the module in Drupal 8. Which features will you migrate? Do you have any ideas on how to improve functionality? Contact mentors and discuss ideas to build project proposal.

Project Goal: Stock API to be ported to Drupal 8.

Project Resources: Review the module page at Stock API, read documentation, and become active in the issue queue. Test out the module's functionality via https://simplytest.me/ (input "Stock API" and click "Launch sandbox" to create a temporary Drupal site with module installed for testing functionality.

Project Number:2

Project Name: Finish Port of oEmbed module to Drupal 8

Project Mentors: OPEN

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Symphony, Drupal 8, oEmbed

Project Description: the oEmbed module will allow your Drupal site to embed content from oEmbed-providers as well as for the site to become an oEmbed-provider itself so that other oEmbed-enabled websites can easily embed your content. This module is quite important, but it hasn't been ported to Drupal 8 yet. There is some work started, but much of it still remains.

Project Goal: Port the module completely to Drupal 8 and ensure the module has robust security measures.

Project Resources: Review the module's page @ https://www.drupal.org/project/oembed and read the documentation. Test the functionality of module by loading a temporary Drupal site with the module installed at simplytest.me. Each simplytest.me site is only online for 24 hours and is only for testing. Learn about module's functionality and build a plan to port module to our Drupal 8. Can you think of any additional functionality to include in GSoC project proposal?
Review the "official Drupal 8 port roadmap" for this module and join discussion with potential mentors @ https://www.drupal.org/node/2606484

Project Number:3

Project Name: Upgrade DBox to work with Drupal 8

Project Mentors: dashohoxha ( https://www.drupal.org/u/dashohoxha )

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE

Project Skills/Prerequisite: bash scripting, installing Drupal8

Project Description: DrupalBox is a template Drupal project that can be used to seed (create) a new Drupal project quickly and easily. Upgrade DBox to work with Drupal 8.

Project Goal: Upgrade DBox scripts to install Drupal8 (instead of Drupal7).
The new project will contain:
*A Drupal profile.
*Makefiles for downloading the Drupal core, all the needed modules, libraries, patches, etc.
*Docker scripts for installing an Ubuntu server with all the packages and configurations needed for running a Drupal application.

Project Resources: This is not a typical "Drupal module project". This project is to write code to enable Drupal developers to easily create Drupal sites in a specific way. SimplyTest.me is a similar solution that gives Drupal developers the ability to easily test various modules and site is only available for 24 hours. These projects are similar but goal of GSoC project is to allow user to quickly deploy these quick sites for testing locally and for real development reasons (not just testing). The system currently works for Drupal 7 and the project/code lives @ https://github.com/docker-scripts/dbox - contact module maintainer via GitHub and build a project plan to get this working with Drupal 8 ( or via drupal.org @ https://www.drupal.org/u/dashohoxha ).

Project Number:4

Project Name: Improve Social API: Create Several Implementers for Auth, Post, and Widget

Project Mentors: MaskyS ( https://www.drupal.org/u/kifah-meeran ), gvso ( https://www.drupal.org/u/gvso ), Slurpee ( https://www.drupal.org/u/slurpee ), Himanshu Dixit ( https://www.drupal.org/u/himanshu-dixit )

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE/DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Drupal, API, Understanding how OAuth2 works

Project Description: Social API harmonizes social networking services in Drupal, providing an extensible module that allows integration of modules for user login, auto-posting, and social widgets. A considerable chunk of the work has already done by 2 previous GSoC students. However, we still have a few more things remaining in the roadmap

Project Goal: The student will need to:
- Test the existing Auth/Post/Widget implementers and ensure that they all work perfectly.

- APIs are constantly changing and the original code is outdated. Refactor the base code wherever possible.

- For each implementer, update existing documentation and create new docs where lacking

- Create 5 new Auth implementers, 5 new Post implementers and 5 new Widget implementers.

- Create 1 video demoing Auth implementer, 1 video demoing Post implementer, 1 video demoing Widget implementer

- Research and conduct user/penetration testing. We need to see how the management UI can be improved. For example, what happens if site manager has 20 implementers installed? How to delete them easily? Are there any potential security loopholes that have passed unnoticed?

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Public-Key Cryptography, JavaScript

Project Description: We now have user-friendly server-side encryption in Drupal thanks to last year's project, Pubkey Encrypt. If we could get client-side encryption working the same way, Drupal could be used as a zero-knowledge system for securely storing data.

Project Goals:

  • Store client-side encrypted data in entity fields via Field Encryption.
  • Store client-side encrypted data in uploaded files via File Encrypt.
  • Display client-side encrypted data displayed in Views to users with a key (decrypted in browser).

Project Number:6

Project Name: Port dRealty module to Drupal 8

Project Mentors: Slurpee ( https://www.drupal.org/u/slurpee ) Lee ( https://www.drupal.org/u/lee )

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE/DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Real Estate, MLS, Data Import, module port

Project Description: The Drupal RETS Real Estate Framework (dRealty) enables administrator-developers to get real estate data via RETS and maintain a copy of that data in Drupal. dRealty is focused on that one-way data flow, and it does not include a user interface beyond administrative and configuration pages.

Almost everyone has seen a website with real estate data listing houses for sale/rent. All of this data is available via RETS (Real Estate Technology Standard) which pulls data directly from MLS. This module already works in Drupal 7, but it is not perfect. A potential student can easily get started working with the Drupal 7 version and fixing bugs @ https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/drealty?categories=All

Project Goal: Port the dRealty module to Drupal 8. Have a working website in Drupal 8 demoing listings of real estate data via RETS.

Project Resources: Module page: https://www.drupal.org/project/drealty. Page discussing "roadmap of porting module to Drupal 8" @ https://www.drupal.org/project/drealty/issues/2540214 -- but there is not much activity there. Contact mentor Slurpee directly to discuss this project. If truly interested in the project, you'll need access to a RETS server to pull in data. Slurpee can provide access to a Drupal 7 version with modules working already pulling in RETS data. The student then needs to create a project plan to port module into Drupal 8. Slurpee has a good amount of experience with the module and will be able to help answer questions as well as build project plan.

Project Mentors: lussoluca ( https://www.drupal.org/u/lussoluca )

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Symfony, Drupal, Javascript

Project Description: the Webprofiler module (part of Devel module) is the Drupal version of the Symfony Full Stack profiler bundle. It collects a lot of performance data for every single Drupal page and store them in database or filesystem. It would be very useful to compare the data between two different page or the data of the same page before and after that a patch is applied or a new module is installed.

Project Goal: Deliver a new Drupal 8 module that implements the diff of some key metrics (time, memory, service/event calls, twig file rendered, ...) using different visual representation like tables, charts, ...

Project Resources: https://www.drupal.org/project/devel

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

=================================
Project Number:13

Project Name: Integrate Webprofiler with XHProf

Project Mentors: lussoluca ( https://www.drupal.org/u/lussoluca )

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Symfony, Drupal, Javascript

Project Description: the Webprofiler module (part of Devel module) is the Drupal version of the Symfony Full Stack profiler bundle. It collects a lot of performance data for every single Drupal page and store them in database or filesystem. The XHProf module on the other hand collects low level PHP data, such function calls, CPU and memory usage at function level and so on. It would be very useful to integrate those two dataset to provide more information to developers about possible bottlenecks.

Project Goal: Deliver a new Drupal 8 module that use the data from XHProf to enrich data collected by Webprofiler. For example Webprofiler collects data about rendered views, if we know that the Views module calls certain functions we can extrapolate very precise information about memory and CPU usage of Views itself.

Project Number:15

Project Name: Migrating Groups.Drupal.Org to Drupal Groups

Project Mentors: japerry ( https://www.drupal.org/u/japerry )

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Existing Drupal 7 module development required. Drupal 6 experience is also required. Having experience with Migrate, OG, and panels modules is a plus.

Project Description: GDO is a Drupal 6 site developed by volunteers about 6 years ago. Over the years it has aged to the point where it's not possible to give it the necessary updates it needs.
In 2014/2015, the Drupal Association performed an audit of its content strategy, and determined that the content from groups would be better served if it was on drupal.org. See https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2015/sessions/future-groups-drupalorg for more info.

Since the Barcelona presentation, much work has been done to the underlying architecture on drupal.org, including enabling Organic groups and panels.

This project will start with creating the basic group structure on drupal.org for the various groups represented on gdo. The student will audit the existing D6 content structure and build the migration module classes to move the content to D7. Lastly, since we're not doing an all-at-once update, the student will create a tool that allows group maintainers automatically move their group and content to drupal.org.

Project Goal: To provide a tool that allows group maintainers to press a button and have their content move from gdo to drupal.org.

Project Resources: Students interested in this project should seek out japerry on #drupalorg to find out more information. We can provide you with a drupal.org and groups dev site so the student can play around with the sites.
The student should seek out information on Organic Groups and the migrate module before accepting this proposal.

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, Drupal 8, GraphQL

Project Description: The Drupal GraphQL module automatically generates and exposes a GraphQL Schema based on the Drupal Entity and Typed Data Model as well as some other related types. The module already covers and integrates most of the Drupal Core modules special cases. However, full Views support has been postponed to allow for an earlier release date of the stable version. The current state of the Views integration is hosted in a separate Git repository (https://travis-ci.org/drupal-graphql/graphql-views) and can be installed individually. We want to improve this integration module with Views and get it ready for inclusion in the GraphQL module's core.

Project Number:28

Project Name: Blueprint toolkit

Project Mentors: OPEN

Project Difficulty: DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: Project management experience, PHP, JS, other technologies may be used, a good understanding of Drupal

Project Description:

The goal of this task is to create a set of tools that allow us to describe our needs through visual design tools (such as mind maps) or a structured description language and generate projects  automatically based on existing code / modules / projects. People just need to write a small amount of code for the new function and develop related coding standards and interface specifications. This will shorten the development cycle and reduce human mistakes.

We want to introduce a core concept: Brick. Brick means a code snippet written in certain rules to solve a particular problem and that can be reused. A visual description is: A child wants to build a city with his toy bricks. His toy box already has many ready-made models and parts, such as houses, bridges, towers. Of course, there are some bricks. Then the child only needs to design his city, combine the existing models and assemble the missing parts. After that, the city is done. Now, we'd like to make the similar work can be done automatically with the Blueprint Toolkit. Different from "module", "brick" is smaller and more flexible.

Project Goal:

Build the foundation, create standards, help us turn existing project to "bricks".

In the first stage, we need:
1.Design scheme
2.Documents
    a) How to Describe Needs with the Blueprint Toolkit.
    b) How to Turn Existing Project to "Bricks".
    c) How to Manage and Combine the "Bricks". (We hope it can be done automatically)
    d) Standards

In the second stage, we need:
1.Build the foundation, create the command line tools.
2.Documents
    a) User Manual (command line tools)
    b) Developer Guide
    c) Structured Description Language Manual
    d) Update existing documents

In the second stage, we need:
1.Create the visual design tools.
2.Documents
    a) User Manual (visual design tools)
    b) Migration Guide
    c) Update existing documents

In the future ...
In fact, it's a big project which is more than a Google Summer of Code task. The final goal is creating a solution for coding with AI.

Project Resources: This is a custom idea that can be built with Drupal. We're interested to see student's ideas on how to build this. Obviously a bit of experiene with Drupal and it's structure will help shape these ideas. However, mentors are available to help discuss this on IRC. Find us on #drupal-google and we'll be more than happy to discuss. Again, this is an open idea to better server project mgmt utilizing Drupal. Another way to think about this, how to build a Drupal system similar to the Google Code-In website or how to build a Drupal system to manage a team of developers with tasks related to code?

Project Name: Build a identity system/ledger using blockchain technology

Project Mentors: OPEN

Project Difficulty: INTERMEDIATE/DIFFICULT

Project Skills/Prerequisite: PHP, MySQL, BlockChain, Ledgers(like HyperLedger, Interledger)

Project Description: Build a identity system like OpenID but data will be stored/retrieved from a blockchain instead of database. This project idea is started again. Efficient work can be done for the same.

Project Goal: "Bitcoin and the underlying technology of the blockchain has become a pretty important invention of our time. The cryptocurrency application itself has given us a sketch of new meanings that apply to money and mediums of exchange. The blockchain can house and transact with unlimited amounts of valued assets through its publicly distributed ledger, and among these valuable building blocks is unforgeable data. This data can lead to incredible concepts produced by the blockchains transparency attributes, such as smart contracts, governance, identity, and ultimately the Internet of Things." Refer: http://insidebitcoins.com/news/blockchain-identity-solving-the-global-identification-crisis/35028 So, Goal is to build a identity server like OpenID which will store identity information on blockchain and is publicly accessible to anyone. Giving a path for unforgeable identities.
