The Ultimate Bounty Hunt!
Google has launched The Summer of Code initiative to stimulate Open Source development. Prize money of US$4500 will be awarded to students who successfully complete selected Open Source projects. Horde Project is extremely pleased to be participating and to have been picked as a mentoring organisation. Obviously we would be even more pleased if you could help out with one of our projects!
Below we have compiled some projects suggestions, or if you have any ideas of your own just let us know. You can get some inspiration also from our current list of open bounties.
If you are a student wishing to sign up for a project, please use the developers' mailing list for bouncing any ideas off the mentors or the rest of the list. Please sign up to existing projects below only once you have discussed it with the mentor. Note that once paired up with a project you will have to work with your mentor to define a complete proposal with a clear set of deliverables before the submission deadline.

A new Horde module which would have the functionality of indexing and allowing searches of other Horde modules. It could be based on existing search and indexing programs such as Mnogosearch or implement an entirely new code base. For example it would index on a regular basis IMP's folders, Gollem's VFS storage, notes created in Mnemo, etc. It would then have an interface for searching one or all modules. See bounty for more details. |
