@cewing Would love to contribute to this awesome community. Would be grateful to you, if you filter out the ideas from GSoC'18 which are still under consideration, since many of them might be completed.
@vangheem what about gulltotina, i think guillotina is very good project it should be a part of gsoc and i would like to dedicate my time working on this project this summer.

For the ones proposing improvements on https://github.com/collective/plone.importexport please first get https://github.com/collective/plone.importexport/pull/19#issuecomment-453449789 working, a working test suite is a must and a prior condition to be able to add anything on top, and even more so if you are asking a GSOC student to make contributions.

Currently, I'm seeking a means of building out the concept of Plone As a Service (PAaS), which is basically SAaS. I like the Volto, Gasby and other approaches the community is taking, and I wish to assist in the development of those. However, I still have on my backend hat. Therefore, I focus on the backend topics until another time.
Ideas:
- GSoC 2019: Improving the Plone Theme Editor
- GSoC 2019 idea: Plone Service Workers
- GSoC 2019 Idea: Plone CloudFlare
- GSoC 2019 idea: pas.plugins.membrane
- GSoC 2019: Contextualized portlets
There are other more useful ones, but honestly, it's a lot of work to write out them when I have a lot of work to do.

You might want to ask Alan Runyan at Enfold Systems if he'd be willing to give you access to his Ploud code (Plone in the cloud).
In a way, anyone running more than a couple of Plone sites probably already has their own PaaS, though probably not as automated as you might need if you wanted to open it up to the public. e.g. any Plone installation lets you create as many Plone sites as you want, but then you have to add registration, billing, quotas, monitoring.
Plone.io would be PaaS as a headless CMS backend, plus a nice UI and content for helping devs create and deploy a modern JS frontend with it.

@inviciblycool, By the end of next week, we will have an official list of ideas for the 2019 season of the GSoC. I leave the full list of ideas for all previous years up so that we have a history of what has been proposed.
Thanks for you interest, and we are happy to have you here!
Jeez, @b4oshany. I don't know. Only five well-thought-out proposals? Clearly you are slacking off!
Seriously though, these all look terrific to me. Any thoughts on who might be good mentors for any of them? I assume you are ready to step up yourself. Mind if I list any of these on the plone.org ideas page with your name attached?
Alright Plonistas!
February 1 has arrived (mostly). I am seriously impressed with the work done here. I have nine solid proposals submitted and 12 folks who've responded with interest in mentoring. Once again, you all have risen to the occasion and done some terrific work.
I'll work on transferring the submitted ideas to our plone.org ideas page and get our org application submitted. Onward to GSoC 2019!!!

Well, yes, I'm avialable to mentor two of those projects. Also, I do have thought about who might best fit those projects as mentors. I'll see if I can reach out to them soon.
Sir ,it was actually quite complicated to understand the process of Idea submission. Is it that mentors will submit the ideas?Actually I am an aspirant for GSoc-19 with plone because it is the only organisation with all the technologies listed that I know. So what should be my tasks to do.Can you please help me out.
Sorry if this thread was not the right place to ask.
No problem, @AnweshDas! Yes, this thread is for brainstorming ideas, but it's not only for mentors. It's for anyone who wants to suggest and help flesh out ideas.
@AnweshDas, the Google Summer of Code application process for organizations requires us to have lists of ideas that we offer as suggested projects for potential students. This page is about discussing those ideas. We are also very happy to discuss ideas for projects that you might have. It is a very good idea to discuss your own project ideas with members of the community, both to get a sense of whether the idea is possible, and to build support for it among possible mentors.
If you have ideas for projects that you'd like to see, please feel free to post them here. I'm sure other community members will be happy to help you shape your ideas.
Welcome to Plone!
