[Ubuntu Chicago] Team Project Ideas

[Rich Johnson]

Hiya Chicago!

Well I know everyone has been kicking around the idea of creating a project 
the team can work on together. So I figured I would start this thread here to 
try and gather some ideas as to what type of project people would like to 
see. Keep in mind our goal for this project will be to get it into Ubuntu, 
then to Debian, then to the rest of the world :) My only requests are these:

1) GPL (v3 is due out soon, lets adopt it?)
2) Language
     - Python
     - C/C++
3) Developer Documentation & User Documentation
4) Revision control (SVN - i.e., Google Code or SourceForge, or better yet 
Bazaar and host it on Launchpad)

The reason for Python or C/C++ is because we can easily port it to PyGTK/PyQt 
and/or GTK+/Qt4 for C/C++. What does everyone think about GPL v3? I think it 
would be great to adopt this early. I think Bazaar and Launchpad would be 
great, but I am open to SVN or GIT and using either Google Code or 
SourceForge.

OK, so what type of application or project is everyone interested in? What is 
it that you would like to see in Linux? It might not be wise to think really 
big right now and maybe we should start Project 1 out small to get everyones 
feet wet working within and open source community and team. I will think of 
my project idea here in a bit, but I just wanted to get the ball rolling. 
Also, if people could post their skill sets so we can see how to use you 
best. If you don't know coding, don't worry, we can all learn together plus 
we will have documentation, website, testing/debugging, and so on.

= PROJECT IDEA =
- Personal Desktop Wiki
- more to come maybe (brainfarting right now)
= MY SKILLSET =
C++/Qt (intermediate)
PyQt (no0b)
Debian/Ubuntu Packaging (damn good)
DocBook XML for docs (expert)
Revision control systems (expert)
Websites (self-proclaimed expert)
- I can pick up other standards rather quickly as well
