This is a dumping ground for crazy ideas. Suitable for farming out to interns, Google SoC folks, or eager community members.

Line 5:

* Adding hooks between Browse / Write / Google Docs to provide a killer offline mode for Google Docs. Google Gears allegedly makes this easy.

* A better, more fun, Paint option for small children - One way - Use eToys - http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/etoys/2008-November/002770.html

=== Core Software ===

==== Speech Synthesis integration into Sugar ====

Integrate speech synthesis with all activities, not just [[Speak]], and provide for karaoke coloring. See [[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]]'s [http://www.olpcnews.com/content/ebooks/effective_adult_literacy_program.html article] on adapting [[Same Language Subtitling]] for literacy to the XO.

Desirable Features for Sugar Speech Synthesis Plugin:

* Provide Sugar Speech Synthesis Configuration Management Tool

* Karaoke Style Coloring in Sugar Environment

* UI for configuration Control

* Accent gets set on the basis of locale

==== Possible interest ====

===== Java =====

Package and integrate the IcedTea open source bootstrap of OpenJDK Java with browser plugin for the XO. Deliverables would include:

* Binary, source and rpm dependencies for icedtea and icedtea browser plugin

* Java enabled xo os image

* Integration of packages into autobuild branch

===== Print Support =====

Print support in Sugar would be useful in many scenarios. The ideal project deliverables would include

* Integration of a printing infrastructure (CUPS ??) into the XO-1 software images

* Modification of Sugar Control Panel to set up the printer (add/select default printer?)

* Modification of at least one activity (Write ?) to support printing

* Making a printing activity, that follows sugar GUI guidelines?

:I am highly interested in working on this project. Would the project leader mind contacting me at bmw.stx@gmail.com?

===== JavaScript-Python Communication =====

JavaScript Python Communication through the following strategies: PyXPCom, hulahop, and xulrunner.

Hi, I am Preeti, from New Delhi. I would like to get myself involved in this very interesting aspect of the OLPC software development. I have jotted some of my views on the same at:
