My dear students,
Here are the list of practically relevant solutions for issues
that people are facing. If you come up with good implementations I
think
some LUG members with the right contacts could even put you on to
investors who can turn your prototypes into products for the Indian
and International market. No, I am not an investor. :-)
Why most of the projects are aimed at Command Line Tools ?.Except geeks, who
else are using Console to work ?. I would suggest working on both
alternatives, Command Line tool and Graphical Tool, which I think is a good
safe approach.Sticking either with CLI or GUI is not good.
4) Develop a command line e-mail client that talks IMAP, SMTP and
POP. Remember , there is competition here. If you support SSL also,
this has lot of potential.
Is sendmail not able to do the above stuffs?
5) Develop a liveCD or liveDVD or liveUSB that is customized with
bare minimum functionality. It will be good if you use a lightweight
window manager like Windowmaker or XFCE. It will be great if it comes
customized with local language support.
So, what about Damn Small Linux , Puppy Linux , Elive ?
6) Develop a simple instant messaging and presence protocol , not as
complicated as XMPP. This is cliche and a favourite acad project. If
you do it different, you win.
How far this differ from Gaim & Kopete & Jabber ?
8) Develop a stripped down version of mplayer for playing videos and songs.
???? Whats the use ???? There are many other good alternatives also
available.
9) Develop a music jukebox software that plays sounds on different
networked computers with a single mediation server that talks to all
machines thro' TCP/IP. If done well this has great entertainment
potential.
What about Shoutcast project ?. I hear to Shoutcast Tamil Channels daily in
my linux box.
10) Develop a simple download accelerator that opens multiple TCP
connections and downloads a single file in parts and reassembles it.
What about Prozilla , DownloaderX ? . Arent you able to do the same job ?
I see, at many places, there is nothing but, recreating the wheel. Instead,
the student can join the respective Community and go on with it.
I would suggest projects related to Desktop Enhancements are the most
important today to make GNU/Linux more effective in the Market.
