ElixpoGSoC 2027Project ideas
Each idea is a defined piece of work in one Elixpo codebase, with expected outcomes, out-of-scope items, success measures and two mentors. Choose one idea and build your proposal around it.
In 2027 we plan to mentor one contributor, so every accepted contributor gets two mentors' full attention.
Terms are defined in the glossary.
You may propose an idea of your own. Describe it in an email to gsoc@elixpo.com before writing a proposal. It must fit one codebase and have a mentor who agrees to review it.

Make one clear set of rules for who may read what on LixBlogs, and build tests that prove private posts stay private.
Make the LixSketch drawing canvas usable for people who use only a keyboard or a screen reader, and add tests that prove it.
Design a safe, standard way for Crumb to connect to outside accounts such as GitHub, and build tests that prove each connection only does what it is allowed to do.
Build the part of Elixpo Open Source that turns GitHub activity into contest points, in a way anyone can check and that is hard to cheat.
Build a program that runs the Oreo badge's software on an ordinary computer, so people can build and test badge apps without the hardware.
Write down and test exactly what the LixBlogs command-line tool prints, so scripts and AI tools that depend on it don't break without warning.
