__TOC__
== GSoC and Xen ==
This page is used to list project ideas for Google Summer of Code (GSOC) 2013. 
== Conventions for Projects == 
=== Rules and Advice for Adding Ideas ===
* Be creative
* Add projects into Project Ideas that Need Review.
* Use the template to encode ideas on this page. Please read the Template Documentation before you do so.
* Be specific: what do you want to be implemented; if at all possible provide an indication of size and complexity as described above to make it easier for a student to choose ideas
* Check that the project meets the GSoC Program Goals
* If you are willing to mentors those ideas, add your name and email to the idea.
* If you're an interested student, add your name and email next to the idea. It is ok to have several students interested by one idea.
* Aspiring students need to get in touch with the xen.org community manager via community.manager@xen.org to register their interest
=== Peer Review Goals ===
We strongly recommend and invite project proposers and project mentors to review each others proposals. When you review, please look out for
* Can a student get going and started with the information in the project description
* Are any unstated assumptions in the proposal, is there undefined terminology, etc. in the proposal 
* Can the project completed in 3 months (assume that one month is needed for preparation)
* Does the project meet Google Summer of Code goals, which are
** Create and release open source code for the benefit of all
** Inspire young developers to begin participating in open source development
** Help open source projects identify and bring in new developers and committers 
** Provide students the opportunity to do work related to their academic pursuits (think "flip bits, not burgers")
** Give students more exposure to real-world software development scenarios (e.g., distributed development, software licensing questions, mailing-list etiquette)
=== Peer Review Conventions ===
The template used to encode GSoC projects, contains some review functionality. Please read the Template Documentation before you add a template, also please use the conventions below to make comments.
