Hi Chakkardeep ,
Well your reply to Girishs suggestions for Projects for students was
just a beginning .
As soon as some one as fresh as in college gets an idea about the
projects , his mind will give him more so that he can find his
specialisation and work on that .
So going by your words that why re-invent the wheel , I would strongly
disagree with you because its not re-inventing the wheel , its finding
their way in the new world FS.
and felt bad after seeing your mail . Its not that motivating , but
good to point out the issues but not create a problem in itself.
Never mind , these are my humble thoughts , maybe my seniors or pro
ILUGC members can share their comments on this too .
I would really appreciate if they can shed their valuable suggestions
. Expecting them :)
Thats it for now ,
Bye

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,
else are using Console to work ?. I would suggest working on bothgood
alternatives, Command Line tool and Graphical Tool, which I think is a
safe approach.Sticking either with CLI or GUI is not good.songs.
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
in
???? 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
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
Instead,
I see, at many places, there is nothing but, recreating the wheel.
the student can join the respective Community and go on with it.went
I would suggest projects related to Desktop Enhancements are the most
important today to make GNU/Linux more effective in the Market.
