 We do not provide time estimates on these because the time depends on the experience and skill of the developer. Most of these projects

-Most of the projects are feasible as a [wiki:GSoC  Summer of Code] project.  Since some projects have multiple steps, a [wiki:GSoC  Summer of Code] participant should work with us to size up how many of those steps to undertake.  Similarly, some projects might be a starting point for a thesis or dissertation.

 '''The projects on this page are lumped into broad categories but there is no prioritization applied to the order.  The order of projects in the list does not reflect their importance, difficulty, or feasibility. It is just an organized dump of ideas with enough details to give an outline of the effort required.  If you are interested in doing one, a core developer will be happy to augment the description or development plan.'''
