This is the place for ideas regarding GSOC 2014. They have been sorted by difficulty: 
* '''Simple''' means that choosing one idea won't be enough, and an applicant needs to tackle at least three of those to be considered. 
* In the category '''Medium''' at least two ideas must become part of a potential GSOC project. 
* Picking up an idea from the '''High''' category ''could'' be enough to qualify, although it may be necessary to add an idea from '''Simple'''. 
* '''Demanding''' will be definitively enough for a single project, but applicants need to prove their skills before they can be considered. 
* '''Unknown''' is a category which will take some investigation to decide its difficulty, and also means that it can be reassigned once this is determined.
