Open Source Project Ideas

This space is meant to yield great ideas and lead to their implementation by community members. All members are welcomed to post their ideas of open source projects and as time and resources permit, the best will be chosen to be implemented. The community will provide an SVN and everyone is invited to participate in the development process.
When posting an idea please make sure you give fair descriptions of both functional and technical features and also please give details of how you'd like to organize and lead a team of developers for that particular project. Time estimates would be also highly appreciated.

What is Open Source?

Open source is a development methodology, which offers practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge). Some consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical strategic element of their operations. Before open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; the term open source gained popularity with the rise of the Internet, which provided access to diverse production models, communication paths, and interactive communities.

The open source model of operation and decision making allows concurrent input of different agendas, approaches and priorities, and differs from the more closed, centralized models of development. The principles and practices are commonly applied to the development of source code for software that is made available for public collaboration, and it is usually released as open-source software.
