Summer of Content projects
About · FAQ · Calendar · Contact Projects · Organizations · Mentors · Interns · Volunteers
Sometimes to get started, you need a little inspiration. We're looking for good ideas for what the participants in the first-ever Summer of Content 2007 can build - they have 6 weeks to complete whatever they can dream up. Contribute your ideas for projects by clicking here.
This page is for internship applicants, mentor applicants and other people and organizations to post their project proposals. The application and project proposal template can be found here; using that template automatically includes the project in. We will evaluate the proposals in this category on August 6, 2007. Please comment and give feedback on the proposals listed below, here or on the talk page.
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!)
