== 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 However, this program has been discontinued and the gratis versions of those fonts are no longer updated.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 Cobbler 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 capitalize on enable search features in the experience acquired and publish web app to make it tolerate thousands of systems to a set of distribution best practices for font authorsbetter extent. Finally, including recommended release compositionanother feature is to add a task engine to cobblerd, generic makefile, etcto 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.

The Fedora [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Categories:Fonts_SIG Fonts special interest group] will provide mentoringPossible features are not limited to the above (or just working on the web interface), technical supportCobbler has an ongoing RFE list in Trac that has a wide variety of potential ideas, and [httpideas beyond the ones listed are also fair game.

== Corresponding Source Web App == 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 otherwise. ResourcesContact: MattDomsch, http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=correspondingsource.git;a=blob;f=DESIGN;hb=HEADMichael DeHaan

This is == 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 sample project stubchange. You can use We also check the template for [[Sample Project]] in order localizer's repositories to see if they have pushed any changes. The problem is that we have close to create eighty different localization repositories and that takes a project page for long time to check each one of 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 stubs belowformat should be more like this:http://hg. This mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushlogwhich is how you 'sign-up' what our release engineering systems check for a .This projectwould require you to hack hg and pushlog to make it work.armenzg has many blog posts explaining how to setup pushlog in your local machine.

<strike>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).</strike>

== <strike>Modify Firefox to handle files downloaded to Temp more appropriately </strike>==

<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:

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>

== <strike>Add OpenLayers test suite to Mozilla </strike>==

<strike>Mozilla [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/tests/mochitest/ajax/ uses] many common JavaScript library test suites to add additional coverage to it's JavaScript implementation. One test suite that is not currently used by Mozilla, but could be, is the [http://openlayers.org OpenLayer's] js [http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/tests test suite].

== <strike>Import sqlite test suite </strike> ==

<strike>Mozilla uses an embedded version of [http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite] extensively to [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/storage store data] such as bookmarks, history, etc. To insure that it runs properly within Mozilla, it would be good to add the entire sqlite test suite to Mozilla's tests, so that testing the browser also means testing sqlite. The sqlite test suite is written in TCL and needs to be ported to JavaScript. Some [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/storage/test/unit/test_like.js work has already been done], but more is required to get full test coverage.
