A list of teaser tasks is given in the [[#Project_Ideas|Project Ideas]] overview, but please join the chat rooms for the respective projects and discuss them there, where mentors will be able to help you and know what you're up to. There are different teasers for different codebases, and more teasers will be appearing here over the next few days.

Of course, a good proposal is fine, too. We would be interested in the motivation behind the application. Additionally, the student's background, the possible experiences and preferred technologies, the outcome of a preliminary research on the protocol and codesbases the student might work on. Furthermore, their own perspective on how the collaboration and organization through the Google Summer of Code with the mentors should look like and a review of which possible problems may be faced are also helpful.

Furthermore we recommend a bit of research on online guides to write a proposal or motivational letter. The official guidelines of the [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-advice Google Summer of Code 2023] are highly recommended to read first.

''Brief explanation:'' When new unexperienced (XMPP) users start Monal for the first time, they should be taken by the hand and introduced to XMPP (decentralized, login vs. registration) as well as the most important privacy settings / privacy policy. The resulting introduction should be implemented using SwiftUI and should replace / incorporate the existing login/register UI.
=== Your own ideas ===
 
''Relevant readings:'' SwiftUI + Swift (+ ObjC)
 
''Project size:'' 90h
 
''Difficulty:'' Easy
 
''Deliverables / Expected Results:''
 
* Short and understandable introduction to XMPP / Monal
* Configuration and explanation of the most important privacy settings
 
=== Media Gallery ===
 
''Brief explanation:'' When tapping onto an image in the chat, a SwiftUI based image viewer appears, showing that image in full screen. Enhange that SwiftUI based media viewer to support videos. Allow to swipe through all received/sent media (images and videos). Show a SwiftUI based gallery of all received media when tapping a button in the contact details, leading to this image/video viewer when tapping onto a gallery item.
 
''Relevant readings:'' SwiftUI + Swift (+ ObjC)
 
''Project size:'' 90h
 
''Difficulty:'' Easy
 
''Deliverables / Expected Results:''
 
* Support swiping through media
* Support for common video formats
* Media gallery
 
=== MDM support ===
 
''Brief explanation:'' Add support for "managed configuration" allowing to automatically configure Monal in school or business environments.
 
''Relevant readings:'' [https://github.com/monal-im/Monal/issues/164#issuecomment-778239069 Links in Monal Issue comment] + ObjC / Swift
 
''Project size:'' 175h
 
''Difficulty:'' Easy
 
''Deliverables / Expected Results:''
 
* Configuration of most settings in Monal through MDM (privacy settings, accounts etc.)
* Auto-Create of account in Monal via MDM
 
=== SiriKit support ===
 
''Brief explanation:'' Implement SiriKit interactions for `write a message`, `read a message`, `respond to a message`, `read contact details (last online time, status message etc.)`, `open chat of contact` and possibly `add contact`.
 
''Relevant readings:'' [https://github.com/monal-im/Monal/issues/938 Links in Monal Issue] + ObjC / Swift
 
''Project size:'' 350h
 
''Difficulty:'' Medium
 
''Deliverables / Expected Results:'' Monal can be handled hands-free and actively used to do a conversation while driving a car.
