GSOC 2012

We are applying to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012 this year.

At the time of writing we haven't been accepted yet, but here are some ideas the team had collected:

How do I apply as a student?

Well, we need to be accepted as a mentoring org first :)

But then:

• Submit your application (details coming soon)
• Join us on IRC and on our mailing lists
• Set up a development environment via our HackingHowto

It's important that you communicate... most MediaGoblin communication happens on IRC, so you should join there and discuss!

Ideas

• More thorough tests; add test coverage script
• Multi-file submission tool
• Drag and drop file submission
• LDAP or other central authentication system plugin
• "podcast feed" support
• Kuneco development (OStatus federatoin library)
  • Next generation lxml-based feed support
  • PubSubHubbub hub WSGI application
• Improved commenting
  • Comment feeds
  • Notification about new comments
    • By e-mail
    • "you have a new comment"?
