fix etherpad-lite plugin sketchpad

I need someone to have a look at the etherpad-lite plugin for sketchpad. The current version of the plugin is [created by redhog] (https://github.com/redhog/ep_sketchspace).

We want to use it for collaborative assignments at university.

It needs to do the following things (in order of importance)

  • close when a sketchpad-icon is de-selected. (this is a must have)
  • work with the most current development branch (this is a really really should have)
  • sketches should be clearly marked when exporting a pad using padToHTML-API. Ideally, the sketch itself is somehow exported within the HTML, but a numbered Tag ([Sketch 1 ]) would already be good (should have)
  • buttons should be cleaned up (removal of zoom buttons, total width of menu bar less than 400 pixel) (nice to have)

Implement Source Maps support in UglifyJS

We need someone to add support for Source Maps to UglifyJS.

It's been widely requested by the community and Mihai Bazon (the UglifyJS maintainer) is very open to merging a pull request with support as long as it doesn't break the basic functionality of the project.

Let's get an implementation for this wrapped up by October 23rd. Working as a team is allowed, especially as Mishoo will have to approve the pull request. Non-US developers will have their payment proxied through Paul Irish, in order to get around some pesky issues.

Solve the Ominous 4096 bug

I need someone to solve the bug in the GPL licenced Secondlife(TM) virtual world viewer code, known as the "4096 bug". This bug is not a problem for users of Secondlife but those that choose to run their own regions or connect to a free grid using the opensource OpenSimulator server side backend.

Chrome extension to intelligently select Gmail from address

I have over 10 email addresses that I send email from and receive email at, all end up in the same email account. One is a work email address, another relates to a non-profit I'm involved with, and so on.

Today, when I send an email I must select the appropriate From address depending on who I'm sending the email to and the subject matter.

It would be really great if there was a chrome extension that could read my email and "learn" which from address is appropriate for different recipients, or different email content (perhaps using a Bayesian filter).

Freenet content filter test interface

The Freenet network implements a content filter on downloads, in an attempt to remove some of the most obvious security holes. For example, including images from the WWW in a Freenet page compromises the reader's anonymity, in a way that would not be considered a security problem in most other contexts.

The problem is that this can make more complicated pages difficult to write, as there is no convenient way to test what the content filter will do to your document before uploading it.

See bug 3922 for details.

Mozilla Firefox addon for digital forgetting on Twitter

I'd like to kick off the creation of a Mozilla Firefox addon that lets users auto-delete tweets from their Twitter account based on fine-grained settings.

I'm thinking checkboxes, like:

[ ] delete tweets/remove RTs after N hours/days/months...

[ ] delete tweets/remove RTs, except the most recent M ones

With additional, negative selection criteria like "DON'T delete tweet if it:"

[ ] has been fav'ed

[ ] has been retweeted

[ ] has been replied to

[ ] contains @mention

[ ] contains #hashtag

More options to be determined. Basically, give users as much control as possible over their Twitter record, while offering options to compromise with other people's expectation of record integrity.

Bonus feature: an "export/backup to local file" function to save text of (re)tweets before deletion/removal.

Possible future gig: port same addon for other browsers

Freenet filesharing improvements (healing and reinserts)

As files on Freenet get old, they become unavailable if they aren't popular. Sometimes people will request that someone reinsert the file. This is currently slow, awkward, and more of a security risk than it could be. Some additional FCP primitives and FProxy interfaces would make writing good filesharing clients easier. Specifically, it should be easy to reinsert only a portion of an existing file, since that is usually all that is required. This would both be faster and more secure than reinserting the whole file. It should also be easy to make sure that you use the same settings as the original uploader, thus avoiding generating a new key.

Proper Freenet URIs

Currently, Freenet content is addressed by a mix of different techniques, depending on a variety of factors. Sometimes an http: URL is used, sometimes just the bare key. None of these options manages to be both consistently functional and standards compliant. Instead, Freenet should use compliant URIs of the form freenet:key. In order to function properly, this needs a certain amount of browser support, probably via a plugin.

Add Email Notifications to Django-Userena-Umessages

Django-Userena has a contribution package called 'Umessages' which adds a user-to-user messaging system. The system does not provide any email notifications, so users must log into the website to be notified if they have a message or not, which isn't always reasonable.

I want you to add email notification to this package. The claim will be awarded to the first person who can get a patch accepted into mainline Userena, hosted at Django-Userena on GitHub.

If the code is reasonable but rejected for some reason, the claim will then be awarded anyway.

Fix Freenet network usage stats
