This page gives advice for GSoC's mentors and accepted students. It is created by GSoC students who completed their projects. **Project proposal template** This is a project proposal template for people which would like to add a new project ideas for Google Summer of Code. ====== ***This is title of the project*** &|Areas| ''The project areas'' |& &|Good if student know | ''Desired knowledge'' |& &|Priority| ''(Low, Medium, High)''|& &|Difficulty| ''(Easy, Medium, Hard)'' |& &|Benefits to the student| ''List benefits'' |& &|Benefits to the Tcl| ''List benefits'' |& &|Mentor| ''Mentor's name'' |& '''Project Description''' ''This is a project description.''

Would involve extensive use of OO, x-platform UI, event-driven coding, etc. '''References''' http://here.com/what.html%|%Megawidgets%|% http://here.com/what.html%|%Megawidget framework with tclOO%|% '''Comments''' DKF: I want more megawidgets, I want to know how good Tk 8.6 is for building megawidgets, I'd love to see a set of TclOO base classes for megawidget support, and I'm very keen on learning what things need to be added at the C level to make megawidgets easier/better. This is an ideal thing for a GSoC project, as it doesn't need a lot of complicated programming and the return on the student's effort is very immediate. LV: at the very least, it would be beneficial for someone to do a review of several existing megawidget frameworks (both within the Tk community and outside), producing a set of requirements for a framework which, when eventually implemented, would provide a set of megawidgets that are more Tk (or perhaps more Ttk?) like. <> Community
