This page contains 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. Summer of Code applicants should also visit '''[[Summer of Code/Resources]]'''.

To get in, you will need to design your project and find a mentor. On irc (#sugar on freenode) or the sugar-devel mailing list, you can briefly introduce yourself, state your interest, and ask relevant and specific questions about the state of the existing code. You should also do your own research for other open-source code that might help you. Get a [[Development Team#Development_systems|development environment]] installed. We definitely appreciate it if you can show your readiness to help out - either joining [[BugSquad|bug squad]] and [[BugSquad/Meetings|helping]] to [[BugSquad/Triage Guide|triage]], or actually helping fix some small [http://tinyurl.com/ctfkjl bug] (we've categorized [http://tinyurl.com/sugar-love some bugs as "sugar-love"], which means, not that they are easy to fix, but that they are good for beginners because they don't require much expert knowledge).

When you're ready, figure out a very basic, preliminary design (where does your new UI fit in? what about the code - what talks to what?) and post that to the [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts#Developer_Lists|mailing list]], asking if anybody would be willing to mentor you. You will almost certainly get some response, but you may not find a prospective mentor right away. That's OK. If your idea is really not a good fit for us, we will let you know; otherwise, remember that several mentors are holding back for now to see which projects show the most feasibility, clarity, and creativity in their design ideas. Persistence should pay off.

'''Want to apply with an idea not on this list?''' That's fine. Read the thread linked above about priorities - and remember, our highest priority is for you to have a successful GSoC, and we hope that you will want to continue to contribute afterwards. Do the steps above, paying particular attention to getting some community members' opinions on whether your idea would be valuable. The [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts#General_List|"iaep" mailing list]] may be the best venue for this. We will not all agree with each other about how important your idea is - that's normal - but our feedback will almost certainly help you refine your idea.

Subject: humbly introducing... LopArt: a Visual Arts Software that would fit perfectly with the XO
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:39:34 -0500
From: ariel savion-lemieux <ariel@loplop.com>
Hello,
We have recently made the purchase of an XO Laptop. We believe in the
project and would like to contribute to it in our own way.
LopLop Inc. has worked in the software industry for more than a decade, and
has developed a couple of drawing applications geared toward children.
LopArt is a visual arts software that emulates real drawing strokes and
styles (it beats TuxPaint out of the water J). Those who work with children
are seduced by the simplicity of LopArt, as well as by the originality and
creativity it allows. Whether it is used during free-time or for structured
learning activities and projects, LopArt is a highly stimulating learning
tool. It is present in more the 500 schools in Quebec alone. Examples of
LopArt artworks can be seen on the LopArt Virtual Museum it contains more
than 40,000 artworks (www.lopart.org). LopArt was developed for all
platforms, and is in open-source on Linux.
For these reasons and plenty more, we would like a chance to present LopArt
to XO members, since we believe it would be a great fit in the XO software
family.
If possible, please direct our request to the appropriate party. If you have
questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
The LopLop Team

Robust, poor-man's alternative to OCR. These codes are used to track physical items, point at their use manuals, etc. Input devices: (for OLPC) integral camera; one-dimensional scanner like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat CueCat ]. Some software already exists: [http://qrcode.sourceforge.jp/ Open Source QR Code Library]. (All camera cellphones in Japan bundle this function.)
A "walk-around" solution: [http://mnav.gub.uy/q.php XO QR Reader on-line (Spanish)] ZBar based in Ubuntu server.
