===== Accepted projects =====


==== libgettextpo and PO features ====
  * Student: [[developers/developers/georgeyk/index|George Yoshikazu Kussumoto]]
  * mentored by Dwayne Bailey

This project will work on completing our port to the libgettextpo
parser, as well as completing a few features that we lack in our PO
support (like previous msgid) and the tools to use them.


==== XLIFF conformance and placeables ====

  * Student: [[developers/developers/enrique/index|Enrique González Paredes]]
  * mentored by Friedel Wolff

This project will look at extending our support for some XLIFF features,
particularly the handling of placeables. This should lead to
improvements in tool interoperability, fuzzy matching, translation
reuse, etc.


==== Pootle usability ====
  * Student: [[developers/developers/julen/index|Julen Ruiz Aizpuru]]
  * mentored by Sayamindu Dasgupta

This project will look at several Pootle features and usability issues.
Some of these include translation by means of a third language, RSS
feeds, and search improvements.
