== Codeathon Projects ==

Since we expect GHC2010 Codeathon participants to reflect diverse skills and expertise, we have identified a range of projects. Regardless of the amount of coding needed, all of these are useful!

== 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:
  * Find bugs:
   * Try to break it.
   * [BugReportingGuidelines Report bugs].
  * Document it:
   * Explore it and document the existing workflow.
   * Develop a how-to guide for users.
   * Write tooltips (help info) for fields on forms.
  * What's missing?
   * What did you want to do that wasn't available?
   * Where is the workflow inconvenient?
   * [BugReportingGuidelines Request features and suggest improvements].
 * 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

==== Help out with a current relief effort ====
 * [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Pakistan]
 * Enter data on the live Pakistan site.
 * Research information for the Pakistan site.

==== Installation Improvements ====
 * Step-by-step documentation, installation scripts or Packages for different distributions
  * Currently we have focussed on Windows & Debian/Ubuntu so other distros are poorly-documented.

== Projects for beginning coders, or those just starting with Python or web services ==

==== Bug fixing ====

==== Polishing existing modules ====
 * Fixing UI issues
 * Adding features

==== !SysAdmin tasks ====
 * DeveloperGuidelinesReleaseProcess#ExportApplication
 * PakistanDeploymentCycle#SysadminToDo

==== Testing automation ====
 * DeveloperGuidelinesTesting#FunctionalTests
== Projects for more experienced coders ==

 * Tweet or SMS parsing -- allow users to provide info via tweets or SMS messages
  * 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 existing "task" database, or Job Jar, below!).
  * Create database records from parsed messages.
  * BluePrintMessagingModule#Twitter 
  * BluePrintMessagingModule#Micro-Syntax 

 * Job Jar -- manage tasks performed on the site, e.g. data entry
  * Assign tasks to users or let users select tasks.
  * Track who does what, mark completed.
  * Provide administrator UI for defining tasks.
  * Cross-check / verify task, or compare result of two users on same task.
  * Administer tests and training for new workers.

 * Suggestion Box
  * http://groups.google.com/group/sahana-eden/browse_thread/thread/bbda1e98b73e1437

 * Upload photos or video from a smart phone
  * Design a widget (to be included in an Eden form) that can be used to select images or video, with any needed detection of the type of phone.

 * Run Eden on a smart phone: BluePrintMobileClient
  * Alternate Layout for web view: [wiki:BluePrintCSS#MobileView]
  * Android Application: MobileAndroid
