If you're thinking of applying to work with Moodle for GSOC 2009, please see our GSOC application template.
This evolving page lists possible Moodle projects for new developers derived from community suggestions.
If you have any ideas for new features in Moodle which might be suitable as GSOC projects, please see Development:New feature ideas.
Custom report generator
An interface for enabling Moodle admins to create custom reports.
- Using Moodle Feature for creating custom reports forum discussion
- Tracker issue MDL-18323
Record audio repository plugin
Use a Flash or Java plugin to record the audio to a suitable compressed format. The data could then be uploaded as for a File upload plugin.
- Using Moodle Record audio repository plugin and GSOC: Record Audio/Video directly into resources/activities forum discussions
- Tracker issue MDL-18341
Google Gears integration
- http://gears.google.com
- Using Moodle Google Gears integration forum discussion
- Tracker issue MDL-18444
- Also of interest - offline Moodle ideas based on Google Gears
XML admin settings presets
Create an interface for allowing administrators to export settings in an XML file for restoring to another Moodle site.
- Using Moodle GSOC project: XML admin settings presets forum discussion
- Tracker issue MDL-18548
Workflow support in the Database activity module
Add the ability to control the state of a database record, permissions at different state levels and email notifications.
- The initial proposal in the Database module forum
- Tracker issue MDL-18572
Flash-Based Statistics Visualizer
Continue work done by Dan Servos for GSoC 2008 to create a Moodle plugin that can visualize grades and other statistics interactively through a browser. The current version allows users to do correlations, time-series charts, etc., on a lot of the data Moodle records; more viz tools, export, etc., would make it extremely useful to people dealing with large courses. Greg Wilson is willing to mentor.
What You Paint Is What You Get extention to the WYSIWYG editor
Younger Moodle users like drawing and painting more than writing. Add a feature that lets the main text editor of Moodle switch to "draw" mode. More details at: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-18651
Blog-style course format
Course formats drive the main page in Moodle -- the course page. The existing course formats assume that the teacher has everthing planned ahead of time, and that the course fits in one page. Primary teachers live in a different world -- they prepare each day no more than a few days beforehand, and their course is a year long. A blog-style format can make their life much much simpler: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-18652
