<a id="ideas" name="ideas"></a>
<h2>Example Proposal Ideas</h2>
-<p>The PostgreSQL Project has a wide range of opinions on what it feels are acceptable GSoC projects. The examples listed here are meant only as a suggestion of things we would likely find useful, but you should not feel obligated to pick from this list by any means. If you have just discovered a new algorithm as part of your thesis work, we would love to see a proposal implementing that in PostgreSQL. The point is that all proposals will be evaluated on their own merits, so be creative.

-<li><strong>TODO Items</strong>: A number of the items on our TODO list have been marked as good projects for beginners who are new to the PostgreSQL code. Items on this list have the advantage of already having general community agreement that the feature is desireable. These items should also have some general discussion available in the mailing list archives to help get you started. You can find these items on the <a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo">TODO</a> list, they will be marked with an [E].

<h2>Mentors</h2>
-<p>PostgreSQL follows an open community development model, so student projects are likely to be reviewed and commented on by any and all members of the PostgreSQL community. This also means that we may be able to find mentors for additional projects by reaching out to this community. If you are interested in working on a project not explicitly mentioned above, you may want to contact one of the Summer of Code liaisons below about writing a proposal.</p>
