== Codeathon Projects ==

Since we expect GHC2010 Codeathon participants to reflect diverse skills and expertise, we have identified a range of projects. We will try to label these projects as more suitable for ''non-coders'' or ''non-Python-coders'' or ''coders unfamiliar with Web services'' where possible.


== Projects that do not involve programming ==

 * Provide feedback on an existing Eden module.
   * Role-play being a user:
     * Try it out.
     * What do you expect it to do?
     * What features would you want?
     * What do you think the workflow should be?
   * Improve it:
     * Try to break it. Report bugs.
     * Document the existing workflow.
     * Develop a how-to guide for users.
     * Write tooltips (help info) for fields on forms.
     * Request features.
     * Suggest improvements.
   * How to report bugs, make suggestions, etc.:
     * Request a Trac account.
     * File a ticket [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/newticket here].
     * [BugReportingGuidelines Bug reporting guidelines] (aimed at acceptance testing but describes how to classify bugs)
   * Modules that could use some usability improvement:
     * All of them.  Well, ok, try these:
     * Mapping
     * Shelter registry
     * Hospital registry
     * Person registry
   * New or unfinished modules that would benefit from feature and workflow suggestions:
     * Logistics
     * Volunteer management
     * Messaging
     * Rapid assessment tool

 
   * [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Pakistan]

   * Entering data on live Pakistan site - Fran what can be done?
   * Researching info for Pakistan site.

== Projects for coders just starting with Python web services ==
 ''These may be the most practical and useful projects.
 * Bug fixing
 * Polishing existing modules (very useful!)
   * Fixing UI issues
   * Adding features

== More complex projects for Python (or Web Services) coders ==
 * Tweak the Tweet (or SMS) parsing
   * Parse formatted SMS messages or tweets (e.g. key value pairs)
   * Detect when message interpretation isn't certain and dispatch to a human reader (use Job Jar)
   * Create database records from parsed messages
   * BluePrintMessagingModule#Twitter 
   * BluePrintMessagingModule#Micro-Syntax 

 * Job Jar
   * UI for assigning data entry or similar tasks to users
   * Track who does what, mark completed
   * Admin UI for defining tasks
   * Cross-check / verify task, or compare result of 2 users on same task

 * Suggestion Box
