Overview: A Drupal module for musicians to collaboratively compose music online. Features include an interface for scoring music, sequencing audio samples, mixing tracks, and playback, all in the browser. Also features wiki-like version control and control over which users may create, access and edit individual projects.

Overview

Most simple (10-15 lines) modules use “components” (piece of code). At the implementation level, a component is a class, with input, and based on that it's output. In connecting” components we can create the business logic of a module. This module will only handle basic tasks, but it will be a great help for all the little glue modules that most projects need, that basically implement a hook, call 3-4 functions, and based on that return data.

This is my submitted proposal for http://groups.drupal.org/node/20735. You can view it on the Google site at http://socghop.appspot.com/student_proposal/show/google/gsoc2009/mikey_p....

Abstract: Update the ec_commission module from the e-Commerce 5.x-4.x branch to be compatible with the 6.x-4.x branch and add new features for managing and paying commissions.

Overview: 

Implement the necessary CCK fields and views to be able to initiate the porting of the Biblio module.

Description:

Overview:

To develop an evaluation module to allow people to evaluation other people by a variety of criteria. Support creating groups & import users by CSV file, and report export.

Description:

Peer evaluation (or students evaluation) is a very common practice in universities. For example, instructor may ask you to evaluation your group members on their performance on group project. Traditionally, it is a very time consuming work for instructors. The purpose of this module is to facilitate this type of work.

It works in this way:

Update, this is the proposal I submitted for http://groups.drupal.org/node/20271, the official submission is at http://socghop.appspot.com/student_proposal/show/google/gsoc2009/mikey_p...

About me:
I am sundaram a pre-final year Engineering student. I have been working in drupal for past 6 months , current working on my college site running on drupal.

Overview:
I like to develop a module which provides the following facilities,
1)It allows students to ask questions to their teachers
2)It allows teachers to post answers to students' question.
3)The Solutions given by the teacher can be moved to the public section (if needed), so that others can be benefited.

Overview: Provide an Installation Profile (or a similar system) for helping people so that they can easily build a Project Management tool with typical groupware features as a Drupal website.
Key Points: Modular Architecture, High Usability, High Flexibility.

Overview: Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web app testing across many platforms. I idea is to enhance Simpletest to be able to integrate with Selenium and use it to run tests developed in simpletest via the browser instead of a the built in test browser which is currently being used. However we will still be able to use the built in browser. The main advantage is that we could start developing tests which will test the javascript within the system.

Description: Making changes to the current simpletest test suite to allow it to change its default browser intergration to sent the browser intergration tests to a real browser instead of a the basic PHP one that we currently have.

The main reason for doing this is to be able to build tests which test the javascript that is built for Drupal and make sure that it does not break. Not only will it run tests in Firefox, but can be configured to run in most browsers http://seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.html#browsers and also has been used to with other testing frameworks http://seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.html#testing-frameworks

Also changes would need to be made to SimpleTest when Selenium is not installed so that tests that are testing js can be skipped. Or basically tests can provide requirments that the testing suite needs and will not run it those needs are not meet.

Work may also need to be done on PIFR to allow it to publish which types of tests it can handle.

Also with the Selenium IDE can output code, so having it being able to output source code for SimpleTest would be a huge boone for Drupal as just about anyone could create tests. They would only need to be able to know how to use firefox and how to install an extension.

Mentors:

• Alex UA - will help with creating templates.
• randommentor1 - backup mentor, will help with coding standards, etc.
• ALocalMentor - a local mentor, who lives/works near the student and who will meet with the student in person at least two times over the course of the Summer of Code.

Difficulty: Medium (choose either easy, medium or hard)
