The choice was given for us to participate in an open source project.
I was looking at your list of planned features and was wondering what of those (if any) or any not listed feature we could take as a project to work on.
Ideally we would like to work on a feature that has little or no work done so far, that way the project can profit the maximum from our work and we can apply all the knowledge we are being taught.
S/MIME and PGP plugins and framework?
+1 for PGP and S/MIME, that's one of the fairly important missing features. There is a draft design document on the wiki for how encryption and signing might be implemented.
Yes, the design draft is available at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/PluginRepository/Encryption
see also the mailinglist discussion at http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2009-07/0000143.html
and the ticket at http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1440396
i already spent a lot of hours with thinking about the implementation. the real showstopper for me was a propper integration of openpgp/mime into the mime parser from roundcube. you'll have to extend it a lot, as for encrypted mails, the decrypted part needs to be parsed again, and that's impossible with the current mime parsing class.
i believe that encryption support for roundcube is a perfect project for you. it's a challenging task where few or no work has been done yet, and according to the taskmanager it's a heavily demanded feature.
