This page gives advice for GSoC's mentors and accepted students. It is created by GSoC students who completed their projects.
This is a project proposal template for people which would like to add a new project ideas for Google Summer of Code.

And a real life example which might look like:
| Areas | Tcl |
| Good if student know | TclOO |
| Priority | Medium |
| Difficulty | Easy |
| Benefits to the student | Practical experience in design and implementation of a widget framework. |
| Benefits to the Tcl | A consistent widget system making use of new core functionality. |

Project Description
Based on TclOO (Tcl's built-in object system), translate and update the plethora of megawidgets into a single, unified megawidget system that can be "core" blessed. Would involve extensive use of OO, x-platform UI, event-driven coding, etc.

Megawidget framework with tclOO
Comments
DKF: I want more megawidgets, I want to know how good Tk 8.6 is for building megawidgets, I'd love to see a set of TclOO base classes for megawidget support, and I'm very keen on learning what things need to be added at the C level to make megawidgets easier/better. This is an ideal thing for a GSoC project, as it doesn't need a lot of complicated programming and the return on the student's effort is very immediate.
LV: at the very least, it would be beneficial for someone to do a review of several existing megawidget frameworks (both within the Tk community and outside), producing a set of requirements for a framework which, when eventually implemented, would provide a set of megawidgets that are more Tk (or perhaps more Ttk?) like.
