Several people have mentioned that they have the appropriate skills to be able to address a number of projects on our
ideas page, and that it would be helpful for us to rank our projects by which ones are most exciting to us.
Truth be told, we love all the projects we put on the ideas page. Selecting which project idea to pursue should primarily be determined by your skill set and by your interests.
If even after considering those criteria you want additional guidance on project ideas, we have identified a few projects ideas that may have slightly higher priority in our eyes (organized by project area):
BioGPS
- Idea 6. BioGPS: An enhanced HTML5 canvas-based data-chart viewer
- Idea 7. BioGPS:JQuery-based BioGPS gene-report layout canvas
- Idea 5. BioGPS: A web interface for webpage annotation
- Idea 8. BioGPS: MongoDB-based Gene-List storage and query API and an efficient enrichment-score computation engine

- Idea 10. Über Wiki
- Idea 2. Gene Wiki+: User interface for identifying gene-disease links
Biological Games

Nevertheless, we can't emphasize enough that the primary criteria that we (and Google) will use for evaluating applicants is the match between the specific project idea and the applicant's skills, so please work on whatever project idea from our ideas page that most excites you the most. Trust us, successful completion of any of these projects will have a high impact for biological research.
