Hi,
As a requirement for a software management & engineering class we are to collaborate in a project to apply some of the concepts we are learning. 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.
We are a group of 6 (possibly 7) ppl and we'll be working on it for at least 6 weeks (4 to 10 hours per week). There after, another group of 6 ppl would take our project for maintenance and support for the following 6 weeks. Though I can hardly make any promise on the success of our enterprise, the result of our work (code, documentation, etc) would be given back to the project (roundcube) under gpl.
So, is there someone I should address to in order to get more information about the project and if it's possible for us to contribute something to the project?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Francisco. _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/

Just review the tickets in our trac, those assigned to 'later' milestone. You could write plugins or core features. There are a few the biggest:
- encryption (I think it's perfect for you,
http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/PluginRepository/Encryption)
- contact groups (extended contact data should be implemented first,
which is waiting for inclusion already)
- tabbed interface (this will require a lot of changes in current code,
that's why I planned this for 0.6 or later)
- multiaccount
- support for contacts import/export in more formats (but groups and
vcard data should be implemented first)
- messages threading (work in progress)

Other:
- IDN support (e.g. using PEAR::Net_IDNA package)
- re-implementation of timezone/daylight-saving-time
setting/calculations (using PHP's DateTimeZone object functions + some fixes on daylight-saving-time calc)
- rewriting of imap.inc functions into rcube_imap_generic class.
You could also make a bugfixing.
