GSoC 2011

Project description

This proposal is matching Gabor Hojtsy’s idea: http://groups.drupal.org/node/138219 .

Who: Elayne Morais, I'm always available at GTalk. IRC nickname: emorais
I'm an Computer Science undergradraduate student at University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil.

Have you contributed to a open source project before? No, I haven't. But I really want to start.

Why do you want to do a project involving Drupal? I never worked with Drupal. I'm finishing college and looking for something I can get engaged in. I think Drupal is a great choice, especially because its community is so welcoming.

Who?

Hi, my name is Tiago Carmona. I'm a Computer Sciences student at Universidade de Campinas (A.K.A. Unicamp) at Brazil. I've started using Drupal 3 years before in an internship at Harvard University, but never got a chance to really help the Drupal community. Aside from working with computers and studding, I'm also a part of the Rotaract program, a Rotary sponsored organization that, among other things, focus on helping real communities in all the world. I hope that with the help of the GSoC program I can also start helping the Drupal community.

The basic idea has more than 2 years of history. In 2009 Larry Garfield wrote a blogpost about more flexible rights management. His concept has two important parts: we need a much more fine-grained permission system, and we need the ability to organize permissions into a hierarchical, unambiguous, logical system.

This was welcomed by the community, and an issue has been created. Thinking about the possibilities of implementation and changes took a few months. Plenty of suggestions came, but there weren't any actual progress in implementation before the release of Drupal 7. I would like to take the challenge. During Summer of Code, I would be implementing the ideas of Larry and the community. Then prepare the final code for integration into Drupal 8 core.

Overview: This project aims to upgrade grupal and extend it to support Groups , OU, User Profile and developing Google Apps in Drupal.

Description:
1) Upgrade Grupal to D7
2) Extending Provision API to support Groups & OU
3) Integrate Drupal User Profile with google (using User Profiles API)
4) Devoloping an API in Drupal to create Google Apps using Drupal, will be working on these Google
Applications API:-
+Gmail Inbox Feed
+Documents List Data API

Overview – Starbox which will combine lightbox, colorbox, shadowbox, greybox, etc - everything in one! (like WYSIWYG)

Description - In this project, I will develop an API module which will support all Lightbox style external libraries. As part of GSoC, I will start with Lightbox and take it as base module for developing this API module. Next, I will integrate colorbox also. This module will provide integration with the following D7 modules -

• Image
• Views
• Media
• Video (if time permits)

The API module will provide following features (depends on library) -

• Common admin UI for all libraries
• Turn on/off external lightbox type libraries by path or node type
• Paging
• Slideshow
• Zoom in/out
• Download original image
• Custom content in overlay description

This project is for Drupal 7.

1. Background – Many Drupal developers have faced the problem of not being able to push to Drupal’s git repositories from behind a http proxy. This problem is particularly prevalent among University students (such as myself) as many universities have proxy servers. My proposal is to write a server-side CGI script that would allow developers to perform push operations to the Drupal git infrastructure over http.

There are a lot of social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, MySpace, Friendster etc. to name a few, along with other sharing, book marking and blogging sites like YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, (video and photo sharing) Delicious, Digg, Stumble Upon etc.(social book marking) , WordPress, Blogger etc. (blogging). In short, it will be too hard a person with a Facebook, Twitter, Delicious and Blogger account to update his status, tweet and blog simultaneously in any case. This is where this module comes to aid...

Conditional text for the Drupal help system and the documentation team

"The basic idea of conditional text is to evaluate an expression, and display text if it's true. "
In short, this is what my proposed module will do.

However, sometimes the conditions will be topic level, sometimes it will be within the topic. The expressions must be user readable (eg.: module is views with version greater than 3.0). There can be 3 kind of displays of a conditional text: visible, hidden, collapsed fieldset, which can be chosen by the site builder.

Overview: The goal of this project is to implement Derivates API for Media Library (Media, Styles, ...) ecosystem in Drupal 7. This API will provide a flexible, extensible and abstract API to implement derivation engines for different types of files.
