[GSOC Idea] Onboarding module (API and UI)

Proposal co-written with kyle_mathews

Onboarding is the process where site owners help new site members orient themselves and take the important initial steps toward becoming full-fledged members of the site. This process is critical for many types of sites commonly built with Drupal such as community sites, intranets, event / conference sites, etc.

The secure code review module was a great success from SOC2010. It would be great to enhance it further for 2011.

Possible ideas:

• Extending the rules it uses to find vulnerabilities so it can catch all of the contributed module vulnerabilities announced in 2010, 2009, etc. (this isn't fully practical, but getting just 50% or so would be a great improvement!)

I am currently working on a (set of) module(s) to integrate Drupal with CollectiveAccess, an open source PHP collection management system that is focussed towards cataloguing, maintaining and managing collection data. This software is getting quite some traction with museums, archives and other institutions that require digital collections.

Hi Hamsters!

Google Summer of Code is an effort by Google to create space and time for mentoring and great projects to emerge based on student work. For the past few years there has been a concerted effort by Drupalfolk to get Drupal-oriented projects into GSoC, and this effort has been very successful. GSoC is now gearing up for the 2011 version, and ideas are needed. So are mentors.

What great things would you like Drupal to do that it can't do now? (Or that it could do better?)
