Project Ideas
Improving Accessibility Support in Pardus
Description: Improved Accessibility Support for easing the use of Pardus by disabled people. This project aims to integrate common accessibility tools (e.g. Orca, Fire Vox, Linux Screen Reader, KTTSD/KTTSmgr, etc.) into the KDE desktop environment used in Pardus.
Requirements: Experience with Qt/GTK toolkits. PiSi Packaging knowledge is a plus.
Mentors: Gökmen Göksel, Gökçen Eraslan

OpenOffice.org Turkish Grammar Support
Description: Pardus integrated zemberek for Turkish spell checking wherever possible but there is no project to support grammar checking for Turkish language. This is also very needed for an Office Suite. There is a project called LanguageTool that can be used for this purpose.
Requirements: XML, Java
Mentors: Gökçen Eraslan
Resources:
KDM Fingerprint support
Description: Most of the modern notebooks come with a fingerprint detection peripheral attached. These devices can be used for authentication in KDM and other areas of KDE. A program for identification to store user ids and and some patches to KDE to support this authentication system will be needed.
Requirements: C, Python, KDE, PAM knowledge, Fingerprint backend
Mentors: Gökçen Eraslan
Resources:
Pulseaudio Manager for KDE4
Description: Fully KDE4 integrated Pulseaudio controlling system that can replace paprefs and pavucontrol applications.
Mentors: Ozan Çağlayan, Onur Küçük, Gökçen Eraslan
Resources:
Bugzilla Applet for KDE4
Description: Bugzilla is a bug tracking system widely used by Pardus and several open source project like Mozilla, RedHat, KDE, etc. It would be nice if we have a simple KDE4 application which will popup after an application crashed and provide a way to send bug reports with needed tracing informations attached.

Web based image creation tool for Pardus
Description: The aim of this project is to create a web based application for building customized CDs and ready-to-run images for VMs. Web based UI and services can be built with Python. For image building backend, Pardusman - Pardus' own CD image creator which uses PiSi and COMAR frameworks - can be used as a starting point. Virtual machine (may be Parallels, VMware, Xen, Microsoft Virtual PC, QEMU, Usermode Linux, CoLinux, Virtual Iron, VirtualBox or other virtualization technology) image building parts are to be developed from scratch, while most of the installation or live media creation features are complete in Pardusman.
Requirements: Python, web based application development knowledge, general package management and virtualization knowledge
