I've copied that from our GSoC 2013 ideas page (we weren't accepted).

This is the most important part of our application, and where you can 
significantly improve our chance of being accepted this year. Please add 
your ideas to the list.


Thanks,

I just want to say, most of the ideas on there currently are a little 'large' for most developers. Even doing this like porting glfw could be considered more then most can do (note I have started on this). We need to think a little smaller I believe. Web development libraries are a great example in this area. Also things like a socket implementation for phobos ext.

That was my sentiment too.

Have at it. Andrei

We don't seem to have any phobos ideas on that list. Do you think writing a complete phobos module is too much work? Some modules could even be ported from Boost. * std.json replacement (could be based on std.lexers generic lexer) * std.xml replacement (could be based on std.lexers generic lexer) * std.i18n.locale /std.i18n.translation (excluding language specific conversions, only translation and basic locale handling like detecting current locale)

These seem appropriate. In fact some are too little work for a GSoC. Andrei
