Information for Students
These ideas were contributed by our developers and users. They are sometimes vague or incomplete. If you wish to submit a proposal based on these ideas, you may wish to contact the developers and find out more about the particular suggestion you're looking at.
Being accepted as a Google Summer of Code student is quite competitive. Accepted students typically have thoroughly researched the technologies of their proposed project and have been in frequent contact with potential mentors. Simply copying and pasting an idea here will not work. On the other hand, creating a completely new idea without first consulting potential mentors is unlikely to work out.
If there is no specific contact given you can ask questions on the general Clojure Google Group - http://groups.google.com/group/clojure
Adding a Proposal
Please follow this template. If you don't have Confluence access please submit your idea, following this template to the clojure mailing list with the subject prefix [GSoC Idea].
Project title (heading level 3)
Brief explanation: A few sentences describing the problem to solved.
Expected results: What should the student have been able to produce at the end of the project. This includes things like tests and documentation.
Knowledge prerequisites: If a student needs to know something to be able to complete the project, be sure to list it.
Mentor: Add your name if you are developer who is willing to be a primary or secondary mentor for the project.
If you are not a developer but have a good idea for a proposal, get in contact with relevant developers first.

Enhancing Clooj IDE
Brief explanation: Clooj (https://github.com/arthuredelstein/clooj) is already a good IDE for Clojure beginners to start with, if they do not already have a preferred development tool set. It is the easiest to install. There are ideas for enhancements in the Issues tab of the project.
Expected results: An enhanced version of Clooj that fixes existing issues, adds new features, etc.
Knowledge prerequisites: The student would need to know or learn Clojure, and something about GUI development using Java Swing, the GUI library currently used by Swing.
Mentor: Arthur Edelstein, the developer of Clooj, would be an ideal mentor, if he has the time and interest in doing so. No one has yet approached him with this possibility that I am aware of.
