Google Summer Of Code 2010: Ideas

This page lists ideas of a possible participation in GSoC2010 . At the moment this list is preliminary based on discussions on the node.js mailing list.

Core Node

• Rewrite DNS module – use c-ares or libunbound ? See this
• Port to windows.

Web

• Apache Sling-like REST style web framework.
• A templating framework that abstracts the different languages available into a clean asynchronous wrapper
• In browser MVC framework
• Browser based IDE for node.js using node_debug – maybe using mozilla bespin ?

Bindings

• Async MySQL bindings

Other

• Port env.js to node
  • And/or maybe jsdom (-tmpvar: this is already available to node!)
• Add support for UDP to node
• A graphics library, ideally using the same API as html canvas (a solid set of low level bindings to Cairo or AGG or Skia would suffice)
