I think all projects are beginner-friendly as far as community/friendlines goes, but yes, todoman
probably has the simplest codebase (probably due to it's youth and the fact that it's a lot smaller).
You may have noticed I've been replying quite slowly these last months, since I'm settling some RL stuff, but since this is in a few months, I should be settled down, and would be glad to mentor someone into the community.

I can do mentoring for todoman as well, though in any case we need a list of major features that you envision.

A possible feature for todoman would be a reminder daemon that also watches the tasklists for new entries etc.
Yup, a daemon (maybe a feature, maybe an external app that uses it) that runs a custom command sounds really useful. I wonder if khal
could have the same thing for upcoming events.
There's also the daemon mode for vdirsyncer
, but I guess that might be too complicated. :(
Indeed an external program that handles VALARMS just like VTODOs would be nice. Some challenges:
n
seconds for tasks that need notifications (waste of battery)sleep(x)
won't work), because what happens if the hardware clock is broken and the daemon starts before ntpd fixes the clock?depending on their definition of fun, RFC 5546 support could be a nice challenge (though its probably too hard for total beginners)
I think we need a few more possible projects such that teams have a choice.
The deadline is at the end of this month.

More possible projects (for khal) from the issue tracker
As said before, one of you be needed as a backup mentor, in case I am not available in summer.
Thats totally fine by me, though I might hit you with many questions as I'm not that familiar with timezones and recurrence anymore.

- proportional time day view https://github.com/pimutils/khal/issues/311
- support for "travel time" https://github.com/pimutils/khal/issues/533
- better creation of VTIMEZONES, e.g. by creating a cache of them https://github.com/pimutils/khal/issues/146
- better support for recurrence rules https://github.com/pimutils/khal/issues/199 https://github.com/pimutils/khal/issues/62

I've submitted vdirsyncer on its own. Given that @geier has no time I think it'd be better to just submit todoman for now. @hobarrera please fill out that one for yourself, and enter me as mentor if you don't have time (btw you need to sort-of guarantee that you will have time if you're a mentor, see http://railsgirlssummerofcode.org/guide/projects/)
I intend to apply, but looks like sign in is currently broken, so I can't (same applied yesterday). 😞

I am considering applying the entire pimutils org (or rather, {khal, vdirsyncer, todoman}). @geier says he has no time at that point to be mentoring for khal, but I wonder whether it'd be possible for you @hobarrera? Particularly todoman seems like a good project to get started with because of the relatively clean codebase (and ease to set up, vdirsyncer not really necessary).
Vdirsyncer doesn't appear to be a very beginner-friendly project to me. Also I wouldn't know which open tasks to pick for RGSoC.
