Welcome on the page dedicated to the Idea List (suggested by the Dolibarr core team, Dolibarr users or students) for the Google Summer Of Code (please read the introduction before adding/editing your own idea).


NOTE FOR STUDENT: WE MUST FIRST WAIT VALIDATION OF GOOGLE TO BE AN OFFICIAL MENTOR FOR GOOGLE SUMMER OF CODE BEFORE APPLYING FOR AN IDEA.

GOOGLE PUBLISH LIST OF ACCEPTING MENTORING ORGANIZATION THE 8TH OF APRIL, SO PLEASE, COME BACK THE 9TH OF APRIL ON THIS PAGE.


Introduction

Information for Students

If you wish to submit a proposal based on these ideas, you may wish to contact the developers and find out more about the particular suggestion you're looking at. Being accepted as a Google Summer of Code student is quite competitive. Accepted students typically have thoroughly researched the technologies of their proposed project and have been in frequent contact with potential mentors. Simply copying and pasting an idea here will not work. On the other hand, creating a completely new idea without first consulting potential mentors is unlikely to work out. When writing your proposal, or asking for help from the general Dolibarr community, don't assume people are familiar with the ideas here. If there is no specific contact given you can ask questions on the Dolibarr development mailing list dolibarr-dev@nongnu.org (Subscription to mailing-list is opened to anybody using the form https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dolibarr-dev).

For information of possible mentors, take a look at page Dolibarr_Project#Developers_roles. Any developer with grade level "Yoda", "Jedi" or "Admiral" are possible mentors. You can look for a dedicated mentor for your idea by contacting the Dolibarr development mailing-list dolibarr-dev@nongnu.org (Subscription to mailing-list is opened to anybody using the form https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dolibarr-dev)

Art.png Idea 2 : An android frontend/application

  • Project/Idea title: An android frontend for Dolibarr ERP-CRM
  • Brief explanation: Develop an application for android optimized for using Dolibarr on a smartphone.

  • Mentor: To define

  • Why: Dolibarr is a web software. Using it with a smartphone works in the same way as using it from a browser desktop. However, screens are very rich with information and often too rich for a friendly usage with a small screen. Goal is to provide an interface with the most possible features that is optimized for smartphone screens.
