This page is for brainstorming and comments about Summer of Content project ideas. Add your thoughts!

If you think an idea is good enough or well developed enough (it has a basic description, an explanation why it's important, and examples of clear deliverables), propose it as a formal project. To create a formal project proposal, see the Summer of Content projects page.

What makes a good project proposal?

Starting a list - not a binding thing or a judging criteria, but perhaps some good general suggestions from people who have written project proposals before. Please help add things! Mchua 04:14, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

  • Clearly stated goal. - Otherwise known as a thesis statement... what are you trying to do, and why should we care about it?
  • Demonstrated feasibility. - Can you do it in the set amount of time with the number of people and the amount of funding you have (and still retain your sanity)? Prove it. A project plan helps a lot with this.
  • Know your competition. - Have others done this in the past? (If yes, who are they? If no, why not - why would nobody have solved this problem before?)
