Maemo provides a framework for developing applications for mobile devices, as well as porting existing applications in the Linux world. Look at the projects available at [http://garage.maemo.org garage.maemo.org] to get an idea of what already exists, in order to come up with your brand new ideas. They can be new functionality added to a consolidated application, a first prototype for promising new applications exploring new functionality, or a small but killer application bringing the unexpected. We recommend you to propose small challenges that can be completed successfully instead of big plans impossible to conclude in 3 months. It's useful to develop a cool new module to be used by other applications or setting a first stone in a project to attract new attention.

'''Add your project ideas to the table below.'''

'''If you are an [[GSoC_2010/Mentors#How_to_become_a_mentor|accepted mentor]] and want to mentor one of the possible projects, add your name to the table with your maemo.org nickname (eg. Valério Valério (vdvsx))'''.

Note: Everybody can add ideas to the list, there's no need to be a mentor or a student. Don't try to guess if your idea will be implemented in Maemo6 or not, just add it to the list. Maemo SW will help in order to avoid duplicated work.

==Ideas List==

Note: This list isn't exclusive, if you are a student and have an idea that isn't listed here, don't hesitate to apply with your own idea, but it's probably a good idea to ask in the Maemo community opinions about your idea.

Other possible projects/ideas can be grabbed from the [[Community_wish-list|Maemo community wish-list]], [[Applications_you_wish_were_ported_from_other_platforms| ports wish-list]] and you can also take a look at the [[Documentation/Maemo 5 Developer Guide|Maemo documentation]] in order to have some ideas.

All the ideas below are possible GSoC projects, some of them need more investigation work than others that are already in a final stages, but all of them start at the same level for us. The students must do some investigation before proposing a project; we are here to help, but it isn't acceptable to just copy and paste the descriptions below to the student's applications.
