proposal

Overview
The Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding is a small non-profit organization seeking to enhance its online presence.

At present, we are seeking a web design and development consultant/firm to create a new website that aligns with current organizational branding guidelines, allows simple updating through an easy to use CMS/WYSIWYG, has some built in social media/networking functions (e.g., a blog and forums), includes several password-protected sections and will scale with the organization through the next 3-5 years.

One part of my GSoC is to add support (of some sort) to VersionControl API for having multiple branches within a project (like a drupal.org project) with different user permissions. The idea is to allow a more DVCS-like workflow, where people can work independently on their own branch and then request an admin user to pull their changes into the master repository. I won't be starting this for a few weeks, but I wanted to get a discussion going about what it should look like.

Overview: An automatic invitation module is very important for websites looking to expand their user base. This project will help develop the right interface to achieve such a goal.

Description: To develop a powerful front end and back end panel comprising of the following main features :

1. The users can import their entire address books from famous mail providers like GMail, Yahoo, AOL, etc. forming the initial part of the module.

2. They can invite their friends to the website by sending them a custom or a user generated message.

Overview: This project aims to provide an easy mean for site developers to create custom parametric search forms and result pages for different content types, much like those of e-commerce sites. The current idea is to create a module for creating search UI depending on CKK and Views. This module will provide flexibility for combining search parameters (operations, priorities, dependences, etc.) and customizability in the look of both search forms and result pages.

Description:

Hey drupalers,

I would like to propose a new feature for the redesign of the d.o forum.
Wouldn't it be nice if the author of a forum topic can give the topic a resolved or closed status?
This way it's easier to see what topics need more help.
A proposal for some topic statuses:
- open
- closed (resolved)
- closed (unsolved) -> when a topic is open and has not been replied within a month for example or if the author sets it t manually to unsolved.

Maybe you know experts-exchange.com? This is a commercial forum that also works with open and closed questions.

Here's the lowdown on a project some of us have been kicking around as a potential 'code sprint' and/or community coding effort.

Dimdim (http://www.dimdim.com/) is a free web conferencing service where you can share your desktop, show slides, collaborate, chat, talk and broadcast via webcam with absolutely no download required for attendees.

Hi All,

Just after being denied for the proposal of a new Group entry entitled "Documentation Task Force" i was referred
that here is the best place for my efforts:

For those of the Group who does not know my person and motivations, i will suggest to read some posting I already
have contributed on drupal.org to focus on the big problem to get oriented in the Drupal.org ---- DRUPAL HANDBOOKS.

1. Is there a task force that is dedicate to correct or complete ...

Hablando del Dojo argentino, en español y con sabor a mate ( a dulce de leche, o empanadas, como más les guste), porqué no implementamos en el sitio las categorías?
Es decir hacemos uso de las categorías que se pueden incorporar.
Podríamos crear algunas para ordenar un poco los posts, y que quien recién entra sepa para dónde rumbear. Así uno se encuentra con un enorme listado de posts desordenados, que no facilitan la búsqueda de información.
Qué opináis camaradas?
Por ejemplo:

Reuniones
Oferta Trabajo (aunque tal vez no porque ya hay un bloque para eso...)
