Dear all,
I probably have not enough time to mentor, but I think there were enough
project ideas last year to have some left for this year, too. However, the
wiki seems to have been cleaned up, and old project ideas are no longer
listed (only the projects that have been taken).
In some cases, it may also make sense to re-list a project from 2013. We had:
XHTML and ePub Export: AFAIK it is mostly working and may become a
feature for a future release. There was also a post from Josh to this list
on 2013-10-18, so he may be working on this in his spare time.
Non-Linear Writing: This project was not completed. Does it offer
enough flexibility that a different/fresh start may make sense? Or is there
enough working code available, along with enough open sub-goals, to start
from the half-way point?
Horizontal Scrollbar: From what I remember a lot of the challenges
were figuring out details of the inner workings of LyX. As a result of
this, keyboard scrolling was implemented, but no GUI support was not. Was
keyboard scrolling robust enough to be merged with the main source tree? In
either case there may be enough work left here as well for another go.
In addition to these, there are plenty of project ideas left from 2013:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/SummerOfCode2013Ideas
I think most of these ideas are still valid projects, so we have no
shortage of them.

Dear LyX developers,
the deadline for Google's Summer of code 2014 application is approaching
fast and we need to decide whether to apply or not. The preliminary
question to be answered is:
Do we have potential mentors?
I would appreciate if you could respond and list your availability as
mentor or co-mentor and the projects you are interest in.
I can collect answers and create a suitable page on the wiki.
I want to try to mentor again, but I haven't seriously thought about the
projects yet.
Vincent
