;Brief explanation: We have been discussing the implications of removing the duo-tone restriction on Sugar icons, allowing for full-color icons. We can likely use badges to compensate for any functionality we'd lose. (See [https://medium.com/@sidhant/designing-interfaces-for-education-systems-with-sugar-labs-rethinking-icons-on-sugar-614120e7ec6f] as one example of how we might proceed.)

;Brief explanation: In much the same way that [https://www.codecademy.com/courses/programming-intro/0/1#!/exercises/0 ( example here )] walks newbies through the basics of programming in Javascript, it would be nice to walk newbies through the basics of Turtle Blocks. There is already a provision within Turtle Blocks for programatically creating and moving blocks and executing program stacks. So it would be a matter of developing the exercises.

;Brief explanation: We don't have a beginner guide for the newcomers to the Sugar labs Community. It would be great to guide them by guiding them how to contribute through making these "form where to start? , What to start? , How to start? , Where to submit? " .  An example is the Coala [http://api.coala.io/en/latest/Developers/Newcomers_Guide.html Newcomers' Guide] which is built from [https://github.com/coala/coala/blob/6dae06082017587a260189a787db9cfdc84a148b/docs/Developers/Newcomers_Guide.rst markdown source].  The goal of this task is to Help newcomers to get introduce in easy way to the world of Sugar Labs also make a dasboard for the users so they can get about developed and developing areas. Their contribution can be seen also their presence can be seen with the community.

;Brief explanation: '''[https://github.com/geekrypter/Sugar-Labs-Social Sugar Labs Social]''' is a website project which should serve a purpose to help people understand and discuss project(s) around Sugar Labs. The goal of this project is to attract Teachers, Parents, Developers and fully communicate together in one platform.  : It's a social website that can be used to attract maximum users and everything ( Blogs, New projects, Software, Activities, etc) can be uploaded on it which will attract more user and create their interest. : A competitive proposal must include some evidence that the approach taken will result in some use -- just because we build it doesn't mean they will come.
;Expected results: A set of website pages and also documentation in Pdf form with this the problems of newcomers about their contribution will be solved and they can work easily
  −
;Knowledge prerequisites: community research, GitHub, coding experience (Markdown, HTML/CSS) for the guide and javascipt, PHP for making dasboard.

(You will be expected to code in the Music Blocks language on a daily basis.) Secondary, but important goals, are bug reports when bugs are found, feature suggestions, and overall good and frequent communication with the Music Blocks team.
 
;Expected results: Quality examples sent daily; variety of styles; runs entire gamut in terms of blocks used (we want a number of great examples for each and every block feature); organized documentation of all examples created, which can be finalized in the final weeks of GSoC

;Brief explanation: There are features in [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/tree/master/guide#3213-setting-voice-and-keys MB for exploring modes/scales/keys which can are referenced in the guide]. However, we suspect that there are better ways to organize keys. This project would be to reimagine how MB organizes pitches. We recommend that you read the discussions that have taken place already on GitHub as well as research how keys work as well as [https://owncloud.libretools.com/index.php/s/2GtAhkvQpt3fYfF scholarly articles about temperament, scales, and tuning]. Keep in mind that we would like to prepare for the possibility of chromatic pitch spaces that are not 12--for example, a chroma of 5 or 7 or 13, etc. What features and widgets are needed?

;Brief explanation: Music Blocks does not yet have a robust set of tools to help the user analyze their music (e.g. highest pitch, lowest pitch, pitches used, keys, musical form, intervals etc.). Additionally, users would very much benefit from features to help them visualize the way their music is constructed. Perhaps we could even create some features to help the user choose a style of music and the analysis highlights movements that violate that style's particular rules.

;Brief explanation: [https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer Sugarizer] is a large collection of many Activities suitable for general audiences. This project will package a subset of the Activities (Minimum of 10 activites) suitable for children with a target age of 4-7 (grades Pre-K-2) and with a friendly UI/UX experience.
+
;Brief explanation: There are three types of documentation for Music Blocks: documentation about how individual blocks work; short coding examples; and lesson plans. This project is about the first two. We can add inline comments to each block as it is defined in basicblocks.js from which help can be autogenerated for each block. And we can utilize the "make block" mechanism to generate on-the-fly examples of how to use blocks in combination to achieve different musical goals. The former will require some JavaScript programming; the latter, Music Blocks programming.
 +
;Expected results: In-line documentation for each block as well as in-line Music Blocks-coded examples of the core music ideas.
 +
;Knowledge prerequisites: UI knowledge; JavaScript knowledge; some background in music.

:Some new activity development will be required, e.g., The original TamTam had a keyboard that the user could use to play songs with their choice of instrumental sounds. Currently the version of TamTam in Sugarizer only allows the user to make a sound of one note on their chosen instrument. TamTam for Sugar Primero will have a keyboard option that will permit the playing of simple songs.

;Brief explanation: [https://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch] is a programming environment for kids. The goal of this project is to make bring back the [[Activities/Scratch|Scratch activity]] to the Sugar Desktop. Scratch 3.0 was created with HTML 5 using [https://developers.google.com/blockly/ Google’s blocky].
 +
:# Port scratch 3.0 as a Sugar activity using method [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/web-activity.md 1] or [https://github.com/walterbender/turtle-blocks-embedded-activity 2]. Method 1, a web activity that can run on the Sugar Desktop. While method 2, an embedded activity that can run inside browser activity. There have been some development of [https://github.com/EmilyOng/embedded-scratch-activity scratch to sugar] and a yet to release version of [https://github.com/EmilyOng/Scratch.activity scratch in Sugarizer].
 +
:# Make the scratch libraries to work completely offline, so a user can import sprite without have issues of internet connection. A possible way is to fork the [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-storage scratch-storage] and [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-gui scratch-gui]  modules to make them work offline by linking the libraries to local assets on the filesystem.  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API/Using_Service_Workers  https://hackernoon.com/service-worker-one-fallback-offline-image-for-any-aspect-ratio-b427c0f897fb
 +
;Expected results: A stable working Scratch 3 on Sugar Desktop.: User  to "save project" within the scratch activity into the journal, making it easy to resume project.
 +
: Make the Scratch activity work completely offline stated at 2.

;Brief explanation: Sugarizer is a large collection of many Activities suitable for general audiences on many devices. The goal of this project is to package a subset of the Sugarizer Activities (Maximum of 5) for children 4-7 (grades Pre-K-2) with a young child-friendly UI/UX experience suitable devices. Many of the graphics in the interfaces will be re-designed to accommodate non-readers and very young children who are still developing their fine motor skills. One new Activity for intuitive math concepts will also be developed similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenaire_rods Cuisenaire Rods]. Sugarizer1° will be non-language dependent so translations will not be needed.
 +
;Expected results: At the end of the summer project, a prototype of Sugarizer1° will be ready for beta testing by children, parents, and educators. .
 +
;Knowledge prerequisites:  Javascript, HTML, CSS and some knowledge of layout and design. A familiarity of how young children play and learn will also be helpful.
   −
;Expected results: Sugar Primero will be available for free from all of the app stores
  −
;Knowledge prerequisites: Knowledge of JavaScript, some knowledge of Primary school curriculum.
