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.

'''Priorities''': see the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-March/004592.html ongoing discussion of priorities] on our mailing list. You might find new project ideas in that thread, too.
'''Priorities''': see the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-March/004592.html ongoing discussion of priorities] on our mailing list. To summarize that thread: the highest priority is for you to have a successful GSoC, which should bias you towards easier projects such as [[Stand-alone activities]]. But if we had to rank this list in terms of priorities for Sugar, the [[#AJAX Sugar aka Karma]] and [[#Versioned Datastore]] ideas are probably our highest priorities, followed by the rest of the [[Toolkits / Frameworks for developers]]. These are generally hard, though, so we would need you to give us evidence that you are capable to accept you for these ideas.
* There is a similar project ideas page on the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code/Ideas OLPC wiki] (and a related [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:GSoC_proposals category]). OLPC-specific projects, including hardware- <s>and scoholserver-</s>related projects, should go there. ''Update: since OLPC did not get into GSoC this year, we would consider mentoring school-server related projects.'' Feel free to add below relevant projects from that list - perhaps <s>80%</s> 95% of these could be appropriate Sugarlabs applications.
