Mercurial does not participate in the 2006 [[http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html|Google Summer of Code]], but nevertheless here is a list of ideas one could implement.

== Project ideas ==

 * Write a set of "drop-in" web hosting code, so that people can create projects, upload repositories, create server-side branches, see how much branches are diverging, and manage all of these.
 * (./) Add support for storing symbolic links. 
 * Support push over HTTP, using SSL, in a way that is friendly to both users and web admins.
 * (./) Extension: fast, incremental, native Subversion importer using Subversion's Python bindings.
 * Extension: export changes to git repositories.
 * Extension: let git clients pull changes from Mercurial servers using "git://" wire protocol.
 * (./) Add support for date/time ranges to all Mercurial commands that can currently accept revision range.
 * Develop a distributed bug tracking system.  Allow people to maintain their bugs and code in the same repo or in decoupled repos.  Provide web interface for easy administration.  (See [[http://www.panoramicfeedback.com/opensource/|Bugs Everywhere]] or [[http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools#head-3a410db622d55b4dd88d91437d2c953f6b730542|grit]] for some examples.)
 * (./) Convert commit comments between UTF-8 and current locale. 
 * Store file names internally as UTF-8, and convert to current locale/code page on disk.
 * Find a high-performance way to do localised text strings in Python, and use this to add complete i18n support for at least one non-English language.
 * Stuff from CategoryNewFeatures
