Mozilla community members - submit proposals here for 2016 Google Summer of Code projects with Mozilla. (If this page looks empty, it's because accepted ideas have already been transferred to the official list.) The absolute last deadline for submitting ideas in time to help us get accepted by Google is February 19th.
Are you a student looking to apply to SoC with Mozilla? Your first stop should be the official list of ideas. This page is full of weird and whacky ideas, some of which are still on here for a reason - it could be that they are not properly defined, the wrong size, or don't have a mentor. That makes them less likely to get accepted. You can, of course, also submit your own ideas - you don't have to put an idea on this page and get it 'made official' in order to send in a proposal for it.
How To Write A Good Project Proposal
Before adding an proposal to this list, please consider the following:
- Be specific. It's hard to understand the impact of, or the size of, vague proposals.
- Consider size. The student has eight weeks to design, code, test and document the proposal. It needs to fill, but not overfill, that time.
- Do your research. Support the idea with well-researched links.
- Don't morph other people's ideas. If you have a related idea, place it next to the existing one, or add a comment.
- Insert only your own name into the Mentor column, and then only if you are willing to take on the responsibility. If you think the SoC admins won't know who you are, leave contact details.
- Check back regularly. The administrators may have questions about your idea that you will need to answer.
- Know when to give up. If you've added the same idea for the last three years and it hasn't made it to the official page, perhaps you can predict what will happen this time.
Suggestion List
Here are the ideas lists from previous years.
Proposals can be in almost any part of the Mozilla project - don't be fooled by the "Code" in "Summer of Code". If there is no category below for your part of Mozilla, add one!

| File Watcher
|
This is the bug topic - [:: Bugzilla 958280]. Using pipes, create a XPCOM component for Mac file watching (Window and GTK are done) or and complete the js-ctypes version. For XPCOM: Windows topic - [:: Bugzilla 992894], this is the GTK topic - [:: Bugzilla 992895], this is the Mac topic - [:: Bugzilla 992896]. This is the preliminary js-ctypes file watcher, but it uses timeout instead of pipes to interrupt/cancel a watch - [:: Github jscFileWatcher].

For this feature, the mentoree will need to change mostly Gaia code, but also likely fix some Gecko code. All the code is in JavaScript. The mentoree will need a Firefox OS device (we can likely supply one though).

| Contributorship Badges for Science.
|
Exploring the use of digital badges for crediting contributors to scholarly papers for their work. As the research environment becomes more digital, we want to test how we can use this medium to help bring transparency and credit for individuals in the publication process.
Using Mozilla's Badgekit-api to implement our badges, we can issue and fetch badges from badgekit via the badgkit-api-client. By authenticating against ORCID, a user can reliably issue badges to a valid ORCID, the standard unique researcher identifier.
In this project, you will integrate with the publishers paper submission system to generate the badges.

Strong JavaScript programming skills. Familiar with node.
