[jQuery] Google's Summer of Code
I think that a comprehensive suite of good looking, well-designed demos of
each facet of the library would be one of the most valuable things. Not only
would that solve many of the "how do I this" questions, but it would also
help people to see the immense value of jQuery.

Hey Everyone -
Google's Summer of Code has just opened up for 2007, and I'd love to have
jQuery be a part of it:
http://code.google.com/soc/
If you're not familiar with how SoC works, Google pays a number of college
students to work on an open source project for an entire summer. This is a
great opportunity for the kids, and for the projects that they're
supporting.
In order to be able to apply, we'd have to come up with a list of things
that we'd like them to do. So, I'm asking you (the jQuery
community) what you think 1-3 decent coders could do for us for a summer?
Some examples of good ideas (which should be expanded upon):
- Build or port an unobtrusive charting plugin
- Add jQuery support to a popular CMS/Framework
- Build some interactive demos for jQuery.com
- Add new functionality to Interface
We're already working on the following improvements to the web site (so you
don't need to ask for these):
- A new plugins repository
- A new forum area
- A customizable download area
Feel free to post your suggestions - all are welcome!
--John
