Hi folks! It's almost time for students to start attending classes
again, so I'm making the usual call for project ideas for student
contributors. I'm putting together a brainstorming list at
https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Student-project-brainstorm ; please
add ideas under the "Investigate to determine viability" heading. There
are also some suggestions at
https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Student-projects that I might put
forward this time; we'll see!
Details about the students:
* 1 or 2 students from UPenn doing independent studies under the
tutelage of @nfallen (expect semester-long involvement)
* 4 groups of ~4 students from NCSU (expect two bursts of involvement
over the course of the semester)
Things to consider:
* examples of successful past NCSU projects -
localStorage/sessionStorage; HTTP authentication; persistent sessions;
various improvements to existing devtools support; MIME sniffing;
implement fundamentals of DOM WebSocket API
* examples of successful past UPenn projects - supporting websockets in
multiprocess mode; implement several referrer-policy delivery methods
What these projects have in common is that they're well-scoped and we
can articulate how they should be approached by students who are being
exposed to Rust for the first time. Keep those goals in mind when
brainstorming! I look forward to your suggestions.
Cheers,
Josh
