Want to help add features to a site visited by hundreds of thousands of people a month? Want to enable enhanced collaboration among Drupal's contributors? Want to be mentored by a trifecta of zany Drupalistas Josh Koenig, Greg Knaddison and Moshe Weitzman?
Submit an application to work on Groups.Drupal.org. Some potential tasks for the summer:
- Improving display of metrics from around the site. Help people know which groups are active and which aren't. Help visitors learn which other groups they might want to join.
- Improve messaging/notifications - There are several bugs here that are painful for users of the site. Learning the inner workings of these tools is highly valuable as they are used on thousands of Drupal sites.
- Improve mapping capabilities - Find groups, events, jobs "near me"
- Improve our spam fighting capabilities with better tools for reporting and moderation
- Create integration with external job vendors in ways that respect community norms and can make money for the Drupal Association (which in turn helps fund this site)
- Brainstorm and implement other forms of user-relevant advertising systems
- Perform a usability review now and then propose/code fixes
- And many more things...
