Sometimes to get started, you need a little inspiration. We're looking for good ideas for the participants in the first-ever Summer of Content - they have 6 weeks to complete a project that creates or facilitates open content. Browse our current organizations, mentors, and interns lists to see who's participating and add your own ideas.

This page is for internship applicants, mentor applicants and other people and organizations to post their project proposals. The project proposal template will include the project in, for evaluation on August 6. Please comment and give feedback on the proposals listed below.

Flags for projects

Feel free to use these categories to search through or tag your projects (or make your own categories - just be sure to include the categories in Category:Summer of Content categories). Here are a few for starters.

Current projects

Also see Category:Summer of Content proposals. Please add yours to the list! Use the Summer of Content application template to automatically be included in the judging. Feel free to expand upon and edit the ideas in each proposal - every application is under development by anyone who want to pitch in. (As of 7/21/07, the OLPC volunteers portal project is a great example of what a good in-progress proposal could look like. Help us flesh the rest of them in!)

Other proposals in progress/under discussion

These proposals haven't yet been turned into applications. Maybe you can help? See the Summer of Content application template to learn how - just make a new page with the title of the project as the name of the page, follow the instructions to use the application template, add a link to the project in the list above, and start fleshing out the project description. (If someone can write a better set of instructions for how to do this, please do!)

  • Stories: Shoot a short documentary film on what life is like for schoolchildren in your village
  • How-tos: Make how-to videos on playing regional sports, musical instruments, etc.
  • Food: Add recipes from your region to the Wikibooks Cookbook
  • More food: Create a cooking game like to Cooking Mama, except with localized, user-provided recipes.
  • Classroom activities: Create some constructionist learning activities.
  • Language learning: Contribute video, translations, &c to Colingo.org
