<!-- - Below: Commented out by Chris Tyler 2008-08-31 -- I think we'll get all the students doing this.
== [[Sample Project]] ==Reference: armenzg
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.
NOTEReference: if someone has already created the project page, speak to this person and see if you can join them. If so, simply add your name to the '''Project Leader(s)''' page. Otherwise, you can become a contributor later.armenzg - Bug 498641
'''Students:''' If you'd like to work on one of these, move the chosen project to the [[Project List]] and create a page for your work based on the [[Sample Project]] template.
= 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.
== Cobbler Web ==
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 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.
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. See https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/report/1?sort=type&asc=1

= Potential Mozilla Projects =Improve Localization build system == Currently it requires many many steps to produce another language of Firefox.It would really easy to package these many steps to reduce the required knowledge to generate a new language. Adding a few make steps to wrap this process would help everyone.This is a very easy project to tackle but very benefitial if the time and love is given to it.
