This is a list of project ideas. For now the focus is on giving [[GSoC]] students an idea of the kind of thing we're looking for. It also includes dumping ground for less-explicitly-explained crazy ideas at the end.

* See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:GSoC_proposals for last years' OLPC applications to GSoC. A quick scan indicates that around 80-90% of these would have been appropriate Sugarlabs applications if Sugarlabs had existed at the time. The other 10-20% would still be OLPC applications, because they involve either software for the XS (school server) or something specific about the XO hardware.

If a project that interests you lacks a "potential mentor" here, or you want to know more about the current status of the related code, we would be happy to help guide you on irc (#sugar on freenode) or mailing lists (technical questions to sugar-devel@lists.laptop.org, educational/general ones to iaep@lists.laptop.org).
