Project Ideas
Atul Jangra
I am a undergraduate student at Indian Institute of Technology , Delhi
(India) .
I am interested in the project Ideas of K9-mail .
I checked out the source code, imported to Eclipse and built from
source.
These days I'm exploring the source code and trying out the app on my
mobile.
I am particularly interested in the following projects
1. Homescreen Widget
2. Proxy server support ( Trust me , I know how it feels if your app
have a native proxy support , I am all the time behind Institute's
proxy)
3. Improving Message List .
I would appreciate if someone can help me out with this . Please refer
me some more stuff that i need to read and go through .
Looking forward for replies
Warm Regards

Hi,
since more posts like this are likely to show up, I take this as
opportunity to give a bit of a generic answer.
Check out the Android Developers site for information regarding Android
development: https://developer.android.com/index.html
I am very lazy, so I won't give students a reading list for specific
GSoC projects :) Instead I want to encourage you to do the research
yourself. Use a search engine of your choosing to find what information
is out there. Do some experiments on your own. Learn from your mistakes.
Of course if you have specific questions feel free to ask. The developer
mailing list is probably the best place for that:
https://groups.google.com/group/k-9-dev
Most of us developers also hang out on IRC (#k-9 on Freenode).
If you want to implement a feature or fix some bugs in preparation for
GSoC and that involves a non-trivial amount of work, you should ask for
our opinions on your approach before starting the implementation.
Otherwise you might spend a lot of time on a solution we don't like to
include for one reason or another.
One last thing: We tend to be quite critical. Please don't let this
discourage you. Usually we give pointers on how to improve your work. If
not, ask for it :)
