By lcdweb Filed under CiviCRMCiviCRM is considering applying to be a mentoring organization in Google's Summer of Code program (GSOC). If you're not familiar with GSOC, you should be! (http://socghop.appspot.com/) -- it's a fantastic program that can jointly help open source projects advance development, while encouraging students to become involved in the open source community. The basic thrust of the program is that Google sponsors students (monetary stipend) to work on projects for open source software.

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-hookcivicrmtabs
A simple example given on the hooks documentation link above
function civitest_civicrm_tabs( &$tabs, $contactID ) {
// unset the contribition tab, i.e. remove it from the page
unset( $tabs[1] );
// let's add a new "contribution" tab with a different name and put it last

By kylejaster Filed under Interface and designDGG and I have been discussing a small modification to the Contact page that we think will have a nice impact on usability for people who spend a lot of time working inside of the contact record. After some thought, we decided that it makes sense to move the edit/dashboard/vCard and "Create activity" buttons up and outside of the Summary tab.
