Introduction
This wiki page lists all GSoC project ideas and their related software projects under the umbrella of the XSF.
Please note that to assess students applying to GSoC for XSF projects we want them to have submitted some small patches to one of the XMPP projects in advance, as this gives us an idea of their general ability to interact with the projects and submit patches. These should only be a day or two's work, and shouldn't be onerous!
A list of teaser tasks is given in the projects section, 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 projects with new teasers will be appearing here over the next few days.
More information about XMPP and the XSF at GSOC 2020 can be found here.
Please not that the student's final project proposals may, but are not required to, be for projects on the ideas list. Students with their own GSoC project ideas are encouraged to talk to the respective project contact persons about the feasibility of their idea.
