IDEAS FOR PROSPECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS

Plan 9 and related technologies cover a huge range of topics. Below we've put together a list of some ideas which we think would be good candidates for contributors looking for GSoC-sized projects with us. Each idea includes at least a good description of the project; most also include one or more "sponsors" for the idea (people who've suggested it or volunteered to work with folks on it). Ideas are rated for estimated difficulty from 1 to 5 stars (1=easy, 5=hard) and may contain links to further information or discussion. New this year, GSoC supports two different sizes of project (~175 hours and ~350 hours), so we've split the list into "medium" and "large" lists. Several items could productively be expanded or trimmed down to move from one category to another; we've included some suggestions there.

If you're looking for additional ideas, you might check out the todo, bugs, and ideas lists for Inferno, 9atom, and Acme-SAC. These lists are more general and not everything on them will all be a good size for a summer, but they are good sources of inspiration. Some of the most promising fits are duplicated below. There's also our prior editions of this page: gsoc-2021-ideas, gsoc-2013-ideas, gsoc-2012-ideas, and gsoc-2011-ideas.

If you're a community member and you have an idea you'd be willing to act as mentor for, please add it to this page! Just follow the format given and provide a good summary of the project. If you'd like, create and link a wiki page with as much detail as you'd like (but please don't swamp this page). Please only add ideas you're willing to mentor (or have directly spoken to whoever you're marking down as mentor).

MEDIUM-SIZED PROJECTS

These are expected to fill aboout ~175 hours of a contributor's time.

LARGER PROJECTS

These are more like the "traditional" GSoC projects, and are expected to fill about ~350 hours of a contributor's time.
