Google Summer of Code projects

Auuugh, neither Mark nor I realized the deadline for GSOC was so close! (It's the 12th of March. Whups.)

We need ideas for things we would want someone to do -- largeish projects with lots of shiny that can be implemented fairly independently without a steep learning curve on the code. Mark's going to brainstorm his own list, but if anybody has any ideas, sound off!

I must admit, I'm not sure whether the idea of the GSOC works well for DW. While I understand that you have control over what gets in, I'm rather proud of the fact that all of our devs, bar none, actually use the site themselves.

I think it's something where you need to know the community before you know the code, and I would hate to see someone going in the other direction.

Ah, but there are a lot of students who use DW, and would love to participate in GSOC. (It was one of our existing dev team that reminded us deadlines were coming up.)

I'm not precisely sure how it works, but if it's possible to only have someone who actually uses DW regularly, it sounds like it could be good.
