Summer of Content 2008 Proposals

This is an interim proposals page for the few weeks before the Summer of Content (SoCon) application site goes live.

Use the template below to add your project proposals to this page. Remember that a SoCon project term is 10 weeks long, usually full-time split between one or more contributors. If you leave us with a way to contact you (under "interested people" for each project - wiki user talk pages are great), we'll contact you when the new site is launched and help you port your application there.

Description

A description of the project you're proposing. What are the project's goals? Its motivations (why is this important?) What will be its end deliverables? What skills and/or equipment will be needed to do this project - what are the prerequisite skills and knowledge should the interns working on this project have, what kind of tools or access will they need, and how will these resources be provided?

Discussion

Start some discussion about your proposal here - what questions remain to be worked out? What problems might it hit? What things about the project proposal could be improved? What resources might you pull for it? What people and organizations might it be good to get in touch with? Encourage others to contribute to this section (or contribute to this section, if you're not the original proposal author!)
