# Project Ideas for Google's [[Season of Docs|https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs]]

## About

The [[X.Org Project|https://www.x.org]] provides an open source implementation of the X Window System, and works with the [[freedesktop.org|https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/]] community. There are many graphics-related projects that fall under the X.Org/freedesktop.org umbrella. A full list of the projects can be found [[here|https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/]].

## Ideas

Here are a list of projects proposed by X.Org developers. If you have ideas of your own, please post them on the relevant mailing lists.

#### Documentation overhaul

* _Difficulty:_ Medium
* _Skills Required:_ Documentation formats and tools (doxygen, XSLT, Markdown, etc.)
* _Useful skills:_ Batch text editing, C programming for test programs
* _Hardware/Software required:_ Anything that can build X.org will work
* _Where to ask questions:_ #xorg-devel, [[xorg-devel@lists.x.org]], [X.org gitlab issues](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/xorg/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&label_name[]=documentation&label_name[]=gsoc)
* _Description:_ X's documentation needs help. It's incomplete, unevenly edited, too hard to find, in too many formats, and on and on. Refer to the gitlab issues link above, pick a task, finish it, then pick another one and repeat.
