Developer Challenges

Here for Google Summer of Code? See Summer of Code 2012 for details about what we're looking for in applications this year. Please read that page... most of the ideas below do not apply this year.

This page is for ideas and wishes: technology projects that would be beneficial for Creative Commons and our community, but which we don't have resources to build ourselves. If you've found a bug or have a feature request for existing tools/services, please report it in the bug tracker.

We have ideas. Lots of ideas. And some of them might just be darn cool. So we challenge you, dear developer, help us out and win fame and glory (and maybe, just maybe, a job).

Some challenges have been met and completed, but fret not -- there are still lots of opportunities for fame and glory.

For more ways to participate take a look at the the Developers portal.

Google Summer of Code Ideas

We think these ideas are right-sized for Google Summer of Code projects. We'll definitely accept applications for ideas that aren't on this list, but these are a good starting point.
