+==== Help Improve WebPositive, Haiku's Native WebKit Based Browser ====
+
+    WebPositive is Haiku's native WebKit based browser. Students interested in this will be need to contact us on the possible areas to work on.
+
+==== Updating AbiWord ====
+    
+    Even though an [http://www.abisource.com/ older AbiWord port] is being hosted at [http://dev.osdrawer.net OSDrawer : AbiWord Project Page (2.0)], the AbiWord project would prefer the port to use their current sources (2.8.x).  The student is responsible for determining which aspects of this project to persue.  AbiWord/AbiSource has participated in past GSoCs and we expect that they will again this year.  This could be a possible cross project with a co-mentor from each org, so if interested in this one you may want to apply to both orgs.
+
+==== VirtualBox port to Haiku ====
+
+    A port of VirtualBox to Haiku, would allow developers and users to run another operating system within Haiku. [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.devel/3384 Preliminary VirtualBox port to Haiku]
+ 
+==== Enhancements for Virtualization Software ====
+
+    Haiku works nicely both on real hardware and virtualized machines, but lacks most of the so-called "guest additions" that allows smoother integration with the host. This include changing resolution on window resize, mouse automatically switching from host to guest and back, file sharing. Write such a guest addition package for virtualbox or/and vmware

 ==== Fix and improve Haiku's mail system ====
 
     Haiku features an integrated mail management system allowing to manage your mail using Tracker, the file explorer. This system needs some improvements and updates.

     Scripting languages should be able to use the system API directly. Python and Perl have an object-oriented approach that would allow using the Be API and using the full power of the Be API right inside your scripts. This includes displaying windows, but also accessing the locale kit, or other native stuff.
 
-    In previous years, it has been discussed to utilize a dual-layer approach: First to use SWIG to generate uniform bindings and then to have a more natural syntax that binds to the SWIG bindings.
