Hello. I am a student and I am interested in the whole GSoC thing. I spoke on the IRC channel to ea4xgr and briefly to nkinkade and expressed an interest in the Attribution Helper Browser Extension idea. ea4xgr said that he was working on this project and asked me a few questions about my interest. One of the things that I don't want to do is to take a project from someone who is enjoying working on it, unless they would really like another person on the project. ea4xgr asked me if I were interested in doing the extension for Firefox or for Chrome. I personally prefer Firefox, but have not worked on an extension for Chrome or Firefox so I would have to learn how to do it either way.

If anyone knows of a different project they might suggest please feel free. I am including what sort of things I have experience with. I know C++, Java, PHP, and a little _javascript_. I can also do SQL, but have worked mostly with MySQL. For version control I have used svn. I am also very interested in learning new things. I have taken many classes on a variety of topics. I actually graduate with a BS in Computer Science very soon, but I have checked the rules for GSoC and I still can enter.

An idea that I have had while typing this up is an extension for Google Wave so that waves can be marked as a certain type of content. Does anyone know of something like this that already exists? Would this be something that might work for a GSoC project? Please feel free to let me know what you think, I am always open to new ideas.
