Some possibilities (some may be too easy or too hard:
Additional measurement units for qalculate or some other KDE-related unit
convertor.
Physics demonstrations from your textbook in step
Recreate a certain number of the orbit simulations from the following
website in step: http://burtleburtle.net/bob/physics/
Implement an additional dictionary backend in the dictionary plasma widget
(may be too difficult)
A cantor worksheet implementing all of the equations from one chapter in an
algebra-1 or above textbook
A plasma implementation of the Antikythera mechanism
Implement either collision detection between balls (if this is even
possible), random brownian motion in individual balls, realistic bouncing of
non-circular balls, or deformation on bouncing for the plasma bouncy ball
Implement a realistic real-time solar system map, to scale, with zooming, in
plasma
Reimpliment the NASA JPL Asteroid Watch Widget in plasma:
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroidwatch/download.cfm
Implement a new screensaver or plasma wallpaper based on a science or math
principle. This could include porting one of the many science or
math-oriented screensaver to a plasma wallpaper, or making a new one from
scratch
Extend the plasma calculator to include a scientific, statistic, or numeral
system mode with all of the functions in the corresponding mode from kcalc.
Implement one of the alternative period table layouts in kalzium. See here
for a list: http://www.meta-synthesis.com/webbook/35_pt/pt_database.php

Hi everybody,<br>
<br>
I've attached a file outlining relevant things about Google Code-In,<br>
and summarized the stuff discussed in today's meeting on #kde-soc<br>
(which was announced mostly on the mentors' mailing list).<br>
<br>
The application deadline is very soon -- on 29th, and our idea list<br>
(<a href="http://community.kde.org/GoogleCodeIn/2010/Ideas" \
target="_blank">http://community.kde.org/GoogleCodeIn/2010/Ideas</a>) is not as<br> \
well-populated as it should ideally be.<br> <br>
Fearing that is mostly because one doesn't know what kind of tasks to<br>
come up with, I've attached some quick and easy-to-read information<br>
and suggestions that a couple of us compiled from details discussed<br>
during the GSoC Mentor Summit 2010 and an IRC meeting held about 6<br>
hours ago.<br>
<br>
Please help us get as many ideas as possible, so that we can bring the<br>
success that KDE has been having with SoC to Code-In as well.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Akarsh<br>
