Thanks to the awesome folks over at the Joomla! project, CiviCRM will have a few projects in Google's Summer of Code this year.
You can see the list of proposed project ideas here:
http://docs.joomla.org/Summer_of_Code_2008_Project_Ideas#CiviCRM_Projects
The biggest thing we need now are students to apply!
Here are the top 3 reasons why you (or a student you know) should work on CiviCRM this summer:
1. CiviCRM is an open source application that helps non-profits all over the world spend more time helping people, saving our environment, and improving our lives and less time managing their data. Some examples of organizations using it are: Amnesty International, U.S. PIRG, Environment America, Wikipedia, and the American Friends Service Committee.
2. CiviCRM is written in PHP, has a friendly and fun development team, and is a really cool project to put on your resume.
3. If you have plans to work with non-profits, service organizations, advocacy organizations, or any sort of social change / social welfare program after college, then there's a high likelihood you'll be using a CRM tool of some kind. Maybe even CiviCRM!
If you're a student, apply to work on CiviCRM today by starting here: http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/guide-to-the-gsoc-web-app-for-student-applicants
If you know any students, anyone who works at a college, or any organizations with interns who could participate in this over the summer, please spread the word to them!

Not at all! If the code is not specifically targeting CiviCRM/Joomla! integration, but some broader CiviCRM aspect, it will be developed in a CMS-agnostic manner.
Thanks! That's great to
