Google Summer of Code 2014 Ideas

Interested mentors and students should subscribe to the OBF/GSoC mailing list and announce their interest - that is the way we can track what is happening.

Mentor names and project ideas are hosted on each member project's wiki on a dedicated Google Summer of Code page. See each of the member projects, linked below, for more details about any project:
