Accepted projects are in Green

Sugar Core

	Title	Mentor	Project
	Git backend	Martin Abente and Walter Bender	Brief explanation The Sugar Journal doesn't do a great job of supporting versioning or forking. This project is to build a backend for the Journal that is based on git, which does support versioning and forking. By building on top of a git hosting site we get the added benefit of network access as well. Expected results Knowledge prerequisite Strong background in Python
	Cordova/PhoneGap container for Sugar	Lionel Laské and Puneet Kaur	Brief explanation Expected results Knowledge prerequisite Strong background in JavaScript, don't be put off by Python.

Sugar Activities

	Title	Mentor	Project
	Turtle Blocks 3D Javascript	Tony Forster and Walter Bender	Brief explanation The Python version of Turtle Blocks 3D is based on GTK since Sugar uses GTK and GTK is largely incompatible with OpenGL. In a Javascript version, we could use OpenGL and take advantage of many more graphics libraries, such as 3D lighting models and texture mapping. Expected results Knowledge prerequisite Strong background in Javascript
	Turtle Blocks export as Javascript	Walter Bender	Brief explanation The Python version of Turtle Blocks allows the user to export their project as Python code. We need an equivalent Javascript export for the Javascript version. Expected results Knowledge prerequisite Strong background in Javascript
	Turtle Blocks inline Javascript	Walter Bender	Brief explanation There are several block-based programming environments that allow the user to extend the language in line, such as Blocky and Pencil Code. (Turtle Blocks uses plugins for this, but they are imported). The goal of this project is to write an in-line block editor for Turtle Blocks (Javascript version). Expected results Knowledge prerequisite Strong background in Javascript
	Music Blocks	Devin Ulibarri and Walter Bender	Brief explanation Using a framework similar to Turtle Blocks Javascript, build a suite of music tools for introducing the basic concepts of scale, beat, chord, phrasing, sequencing, transformations, etc. Expected results Knowledge prerequisite Strong background in Javascript
