*Priority for Sugar: Medium
* Binary, source and rpm dependencies for icedtea and icedtea browser plugin
*Difficulty (as a GSoC project): Advanced
* Integration of packages into autobuild branch
*Skills needed: Experience with GTK, decent Python ability, ability to integrate with existing code.

=== Toolkits / Frameworks (for activity developers) ===
=== Stand-alone activities ===
==== Improved Read activity ====
Use Gecko to implement a reader for [http://www.openebook.org/ epub] format ebooks. This is superior to PDF because such books can be reflowed to better fit the screen and user preferences. Also, (although it would break the standard) it would make it very simple to include AJAX-style active features to books.
Extra credit if you support textual and graphical annotation. Deployments have also asked for a page-turn animation.
*Priority for Sugar: High
*Difficulty (as a GSoC project): Medium (w/o annotation); very hard (w/annotation)
*Skills needed: Strong Javascript/DOM skills, some interlanguage integration (Python/Javascript), ability to adapt Read activity's communications code (Python).
==== KDEEdu ====
Sugarize any [http://edu.kde.org/ KDEEdu] activity, especially the ones which have no corresponding Sugar activity. This probably means recoding the C to use GTK instead of QT and to use Sugar conventions.
*Priority for Sugar: High
*Difficulty (as a GSoC project): easy-hard
*Skills needed: C/C++, GTK.
== Brainstorm / unexplained ideas ==
=== Core Software ===
* Accessibility Support: Sugar currently doesn't have anything available for the visually impaired.
==== 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 os image
* Integration of packages into autobuild branch
==== JavaScript-Python Communication ====

Working together with openthesaurus -- someone could create a thesaurus for kids to learn different words (synonyms and antonyms)
