Ask Slashdot: What Does the FOSS Community Currently Need?
First time accepted submitter d33tah writes "In the summer term of my final year of IT's bachelor's course in my university, every student is obliged to develop his own project; the only requirement is that the application would use any kind of a database. While others are thinking of another useless system for an imaginary company that nobody would actually use, I'd rather hack up something the FL/OSS community actually needs. The problem is — how to figure out what it could be?"
Definitely need another web framework option
I second this. Hygienic unbearded ladies have always driven the motivations of men. (No offense to the bearded women...) We do need more of them.
Fewer beards. Better grammar.
Also, writing such a 'useless' system might actually be what your professors are looking for, since it's what you are likely going to work on much of your time as a corporate code monkey. 'Useless' here meaning: in your perception, not to the corporate bottom line.
Sounds highly unlikely, that would imply the professors are actually aware of the outside world.
Idiot. Women are to be kept in binders, not databases.
Fewer grammers. More spelling.
Other than the unkempt state of many nerds (I am one of them), the other big problem is pick up lines
A database of excellent pick up lines, and examples, preferably video demos, would be a plus
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
