 ## Where to start

-As a student, it can be a daunting task to prepare and submit a proposal. The best way to get started is to find something from the project idea list below. Read the existing ticket to see if it sounds like a project that would interest you for the summer.

-If you don't find anything in the existing list of ideas, but reading through the tickets has given you your own idea, great! We love getting new ideas as well and they will receive the same amount of consideration as any existing ideas.
+If you install and run Allura and get a little development experience with it, you can come up with your own ideas too. We love getting new ideas as well, and they are encouraged!  Please get in touch with the developers to discuss your ideas though, and make sure they are really good.

-Once you have an idea, it is best to [subscribe to the allura-dev mailing list](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-allura-dev/) and begin a discussion about the idea you want to use for your proposal.

-After some discussion on the list you will want to head over to the [GSoC website](https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2013) and get registered as a student. Once registered you can submit your proposal for working on Allura to the Apache Software Foundation.

 ## Featured project ideas

-We have created a label for tickets and ideas that we think are good candidates for GSoC to make it very easy to browse the latest [Allura GSoC ideas](https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/search?q=labels:gsoc2013ideas).
+The "[Tickets](https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/tickets/)" tab on this site has lots of ideas, bugs, etc from the whole history of the project.  They may give you some ideas, but some [big project ideas that we recommend are listed here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20COMDEV%20AND%20summary%20~%20Allura%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22GSoC%2FMentoring%20ideas%22%20AND%20created%20%3E%3D%20-51w).  This link is on the JIRA site that is used by all of the Apache Software Foundation so that all GSOC ideas can be grouped together there.  Feel free to check out other GSOC ideas there too (click the gsoc20xx label link).  Allura discussions and questions should be on our own tickets or mailing list though (we don't use JIRA much really)

-### User Project Makeover [#2879]
-Our existing User Project page need a lot of work. In their current state, they are pretty useless. Ideally we would like the User Project to be the a users information hub. The place where an Allura user will get information about what happened, what others are doing, and have quick and easy access to their repositories and projects.
-
-This idea involves an equal amount of front-end and backend work. You learn about many different parts of the Allura system. Extended information can be found in the ticket.
