Starting from today organisations can send their applications, so you may be running out of time for posting ideas!

I just pointed out this at the main thread https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/clojure/vDiha4tYC_s

Hi everybody, I'm a student looking to apply for GSOC 2013. I'm trying to develop some ideas for projects for my proposal. I'm a little new to Clojure and haven't been formally trained in CS yet so I'm mainly looking for ideas that are between easy and medium difficulty. Also, I'm primarily a web developer so I would prefer ideas in that space if possible, not a requirement.

Here are some of my ideas:
  • A static site generator like Jekyll. This was one of the ideas on the list from 2012, don't think Chris Granger is going to be available to mentor though.
  • A database migration library.
  • A batteries included web framework. I could start one or contribute to Luminus. 
  • I saw Hakan posted https://github.com/hraberg/deuce/ in another thread. It's not web related but I'd love to work on it.
  • A library that makes deployment of Clojure web applications easier.
Please give me feedback on my ideas. Feel free to give me any new ideas or suggestions.

Thanks for your time!

Given that you like webdev, you may be interested in improving cemerick's Friend library. There are a bunch of interesting features yet to be implemented!

I'd love to work on cemerick's Friend library if somebody would be willing to mentor me on it. It's a library that I'd be using a lot personally.

Well, try contacting cemerick himself :) Same for any project you'd like to contribute to, authors/commiters should be the safest bet when looking for a mentor.
