Google Summer of Code Ideas - 2010

From the Roadmap/Feature Requests
* Extension of the version checker to include modules and module dependencies

* Multi-site capabilities with a single installation

* Site-wide taxonomy and free tagging

* WYSIWYG editor configuration and administration

* Support for multiple database engines

* A new db abstraction class

* Online theme editing and extended administration

Other ideas from Marc-Andre:
Quote:


* Improve the Profile module to make it simpler and more powerful.

* Integrate Facebook and Twitter with Profile module: a user could share his own Facebook or Twitter feed directly in his profile, for the rest of the community to see

* In a user's profile, if the user wants it, he could share the names of his Facebook friends and other people could seamlessly invite them to become friends

* The same could be done with Twitter

Other ideas would be:

* ACP (admin control panel) remodeling, with the ideas proposed by David lately

* Code Optimization

* Removing features: take ALL the features which are not used by 80% of our users and put them in an "ICMS Extended" module, so the basic package is smaller, less complex, more user friendly

* Integrate parts of ImpressCMS with Zend Framework

Just two ideas I picked up some time ago:

* online installation of themes, modules and updates (combined with the version checker)
* OAuth server and client integration (interesting for sharing data)

Yes, that's very interesting.
Either a package builder which combines the right modules into 1 zipfile
or from the admin backend browse the available modules, click them and they will be installed (careful of security problems there)

Save these ideas!

GSoC deadline was a bit tight and we missed by a few minutes. We've gathered the rest of our application details and will have them to get us started next time around.

We don't need to wait for next year to get these done, either.
