= Potential Fedora Projects =
Lots of good ideas are listed in [[:fedora:SummerCoding/2008/Ideas|Summer Coding Ideas (Fedora Wiki)]]. These projects were originally proposed for Google Summer of Code projects; if you want to use one of them, please discuss it with [[User:Chris Tyler|Chris Tyler]] before selecting it, because the scope and mentorship model for GSOC is different from that of the LUX projects.
== Free-open font packaging Cobbler Web == The gratis release of a collection of web fonts in 1996 had a devastating effect on many font projects, drainning the font market in western countries and limiting the use of other typefaces to typography niches. However, this program has been discontinued and the gratis versions of those fonts are no longer updated. Since Unicode.org's codification pace of human scripts has not abated, and the font formats have evolved (with the OpenType specifications), this font set is increasingly obsolete. Also, many scripts were never covered, leaving entire world regions without mass access to a way to write their language in the digital age. An operating system of browser that relies on the 1996 font set for its text rendering is not really free. And text is still our main information media. Faced with this problem many individuals and organisations have started creating and publishing new fonts, but they lack the clout of multinationals to get successfully distributed, and are often poorly structured. The aim of this project would be to identify as many of those free fonts as possible and package them in Fedora. The result would serve as a core component of Fedora's art spin, and as basis for a richer international experience in Fedora (and derivatives such as OLPC) This project is mainly targeted at free software (in this case fonts) distribution dynamics. You'll learn some rpm packaging skills, and be exposed to many different font projects worldwide, some big, some small, some efficient, some poorly run. A project second stage would be to capitalize on the experience acquired and publish a set of distribution best practices for font authors, including recommended release composition, generic makefile, etc. The Fedora [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Categories:Fonts_SIG Fonts special interest group] will provide mentoring, technical support, and [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fonts_packaging documentation]. An initial [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Font_wishlist list of fonts to package] has already been published.
Contact: Nicolas Mailhot <nim AT fedoraprojectCobbler is a Linux install server that simplifies tasks associated with fully automated installation such as DHCP, DNS, kickstart, yum, and virtualization. It aims to be a universal install server for all linux distributions. Currently Cobbler has a web interface that allows users an easier way of interacting with cobbler. There are several core improvements that can be made. One idea is to extend cobbler web to produce views that make it easier for users to edit fields that only they edit (let me reinstall systems I own but don't show me fields I shouldn't care about). Another is to enable search features in the web app to make it tolerate thousands of systems to a better extent. Finally, another feature is to add a task engine to cobblerd, to make it possible to run commands like "cobbler import" and "cobbler reposync" in the background and see their output in the web interface via an AJAXy type system.org>
Possible features are not limited to the above (or just working on the web interface), Cobbler has an ongoing RFE list in Trac that has a wide variety of potential ideas, and ideas beyond the ones listed are also fair game.

Finish design and implement web application that provides downloadable SRPMS for any package+tag in the Fedora Package Source Code Control system. While we provide SRPMS for all packages at release, the updates and rawhide trees churn their packages more rapidly, and will remove the koji-built SRPMS when the binary packages are removed. This would allow people to request source corresponding to the packages they have on ISO media or otherwiseResources: http://fedoraproject.org/cobbler

References:== Create Test Suite for Condor == Along with a good build infrastructure, a strong test framework and methodology is key to survival of modern software. Condor is a system that is shipped on, currently, 14 different platforms - OS + Arch combinations. New features need to be verified to work on all those platforms and shown to cause no regressions in other features. Condor has a large test suite, but no suite covers everything or in sufficient depth. Pick a few features, say the VM Universe or Concurrency Limits, and demonstrate full understanding of them by testing all of the corner cases. This is far from a simple task, and requires more than a cursory understand of the system to properly complete.

== NetworkManager Web Authentication Improve Localization build system == [http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ NetworkManager] knows how to connect to many different types of networks, both wired and wireless, and can auto-authenticate to WEP and WPA networks. However, it can't auto-authenticate to networks that require a web-based login, which includes many wired and wireless networks such as [http://www.senecac.on.ca/senenet/ SeneNET] and [http://www.yorku.ca/computng/students/internet/airyork/index.html AirYork].

== Create a MDRK Spin ==Reference: armenzg
== Create a cross-repo pushlog to see all locales's checkins ==We currently check many different repositories to trigger builds when a developer makes a change. We also check the localizer's repositories to see if they have pushed any changes. The [[Mozilla Developer Resource Kit]] problem is that we have close to eighty different localization repositories and that takes a set long time to check each one of tools, code, them.If we had a joint view that would improve our systems. An example of that view is:https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/pushes/but the format should be more like this:http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushlogwhich is what our release engineering systems check for.This project would require you to hack hg and documentation intended pushlog to make it easy for new Mozilla developers to get up work.armenzg has many blog posts explaining how to speed. Package the MDRK components (including the software tools, a Moz source tree, and documentation) as RPM packages and then create a Fedora "spin" (Live + Installable DVD) of these packagessetup pushlog in your local machine.
Edit the spin image (from Revisor/Live CD Tools) so that, in addition to being a bootable/installable disc, the image can be run in a VM under Windows/Mac OSX. The disc image must be edited to include Windows/Mac OSX versions of the tools, so that if the disc is inserted into a running Windows or Mac OSX system, the appropriate version can be installed. ResourcesReference: humph, ctyler, http://142.204.133.123/mxr, http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/dxr = Potential Mozilla Projects = == [[Sample Project]] == This is a sample project stub.

Good headway has been made already [http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2007/02/offline-zimbraarmenzg -with-firefox.html porting Zimbra].

== Firebug "linting" for portability problems ==
Lots of web developers use Firebug and Firefox for building their applications, but we want those apps to work well in other browsers as well. If Firebug knew about JS or CSS patterns that could cause problems in other browsers, it would make it much easier to have those applications work in all browsers.

== [[Spellcheck Extension for Arbitrary Web Pages]] == Write an extension to leverage the existing spellcheck code in Mozilla and add the ability to highlight spelling mistakes for a given web page (i.e., vs. a textbox). == Modify Firefox to handle files downloaded to Temp more appropriately == <strike>Often files downloaded by the browser are put in a temporary folder that is emptied on close. Users (and especially novice users) should be protected from inadvertent data loss as a result of important files being saved to this temp folder. This project will add fixes to the browser so that users are protected. Ideas include:
* Make Firefox aware of common productivity file types (e.g., .doc, .pdf) and whitelist these types so they aren't deleted
* Have the browser pop-up a Save As dialog instead of automatically saving to temp, and use a documents path
Other ideas are possible, and a combination of these might be necessary. Ultimately, this fix should target regular users without much knowledge of the filesystem.</strike>

== Thunderbird Image Auto-Resize ==
 
Write an extension for Thunderbird that gives functionality similar to that of Outlook, where image attachments in an email can be automatically re-sized to one of a set of smaller sizes. This is helpful for users who would otherwise try to send megabytes of image data, when they can safely scale the images down and still share their pictures with friends.

== Profile the build system (why are my Windows builds so slow?) ==
 
It's a well known fact that it takes longer to build on Windows than on a comparable Linux or Mac machine. We don't know exactly why, however. There have been many theories, but no real data. Profiling the build system would allow us to figure out where all of the time is being spent. The best place to start might be by adding some profiling to GNU Make, to figure out which targets in our makefiles take the most time. From there, depending on the results, profiling could be added to other parts of the build system to narrow down specific bottlenecks.

This is really helpful to use an exciting new figure out if proposed patches solve specific problems...The only problem is that there’s a little bit of patching needed to the try server code itself to make it able to work with other targets besides Firefox, as described in bug 431375" ([http://betterexplainedascher.comca/articlesblog/intro2008/05/02/thunderbird-team-toneeds-help-distributedfrom-versionpythonperl-controlbuild-illustratedassist/ distributed version controlAscher] tool: [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mercurial Mercurial].)
One of the exciting things about Mercurial is that the history—the list of all the changes that have ever been checked in—is not linear. It frequently has ''branches'' == Add DTrace probes and ''merges''. This is actually a good, important feature, as you know if you've read a little about distributed version control. The downside is that the history becomes a maze of twisty little passages. [http://office.smedbergs.us/viewer/index.xhtml#mozilla-central:acb5456539c668d3ec0ec755dd3b64ddb56363d2 Benjamin Smedberg's demo] shows the history of a repository with lots of merges (each box is a check-in; you can click on the boxes to move around).scripts for Mozilla code base ==
There have been a couple attempts at showing history in an intuitive, graphical way. Mercurial comes with a web UI for browsing the repository, including history ([http://hgen.mozillawikipedia.org/mozilla-centralwiki/indexDTrace DTrace] was created by Sun in OpenSolaris to allow developers to write simple scripts in order to probe and instrument executing programs in a way not possible otherwise. One of the advantages of DTrace is that it allows you to turn on probing when you need it, but not incur an execution penalty with regard to performance (i.e.cgi/log/13540 here, when probes aren't being scripted, they aren's what it looks like]t run). It also comes with an This requires developers to add "hg glogprobes" extension that draws history as ASCII artto their source code. For example, if you wanted to know when a particular function is entered/exited, get info about what happened, and an "hg view" extension that does roughly etc. you could add probes to the same thing with a little GUIparticular function. SadlyWriting the probes is not difficult, none however there are hundreds or thousands of these applications qualifies as ''awesome''probes that Mozilla would like across its code base.
Your mission is to rectify this sad situation by writing an awesome browser-based UI for navigating Mercurial repository history.Resources: sayrer

Maybe look at the JRE tests, create some specific plugin cases (e.g., swf to load that tests flash specific code).

== Add Mozilla has a symbol server which is used by developers to debug issues in release builds that don't include debug information (i.e., symbols). However, many crashes are related to third-party binary plugins or extensions, for which Mozilla has no symbols. This project would create a web-based self-serve solution for third-parties to upload symbols for their binary components in breakpad-formatted .sym file format. Ideally this could happen in an Infobar style warning for window resizeautomated way, such that third-parties could add a step to their build system to do it automatically with each release. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/move =show_bug.cgi?id=419879 bug# 419879].
Many (poorly behaved) web sites attempt to move and/or resize your browser window. It is possible to stop this behaviour (cf. dom.disable_window_move_resize) but it would be nice to have an infobar that informed the user that a web page attempted to move/resize the window, and allow it or ignore it (default). This behaviour is similar to the current Pop-up Blocker already present in Firefox.

This includes dealing with things like Monitor Profiles, profiles The sqlite test suite is written in JPEG (i.e., JPEGs get changed based on colour profile info)TCL and needs to be ported to JavaScript. See discussion of colour profiles in Firefox 3 Some [http://wwwmxr.driamozilla.org/wordpressmozilla-central/archivessource/2008storage/04test/29unit/633/ heretest_like.js work has already been done]. It would be useful to be able to compare to PNGs with a reftest, perhaps creating an image diff tool, where pixels outside a floating point tolerance (> 0.n) would somehow be highlighted so you can see what but more is different. Little CMS (lcms) needs required to get full test coverage too.

On Windows, The Talos performance testing system at Mozilla has begun using [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419893 profile-guided optimization] to make execution currently runs on a large set of web pages pulled from the browser faster (iAlexa Top 500.eThese pages can't be redistributed, since they're mirrors of copyrighted web pages.In addition, you run your binary and see how many of them contain adult content.

Currently, there are parts of duplicate the Mozilla source code that have bugs Talos results or crash when run in PGO builds. This project will mean trying to isolate these bugs by doing PGO builds of these components, creating test cases, debugging, and hopefully fixing thingschanges that have an expected performance impact.
Resources: tedA useful solution to this problem would be a tool that takes a mirrored copy of a website and "sanitizes" it, by changing the page text and image contents (making them junk or filler text or something). The caveat here is that this *cannot* change the performance characteristics of the page. For example, taking a page that is all Chinese text and replacing it with "Lorem Ipsum" filler text would cause the page to take different text rendering paths, sdwilshwhich would change what is measured. As another example, making all JPEG images solid black would likely make them decode and others based on componentrender much faster. Any solution should have some analysis performed that shows that performance is not significantly altered in the sanitized page set.
