Hi folks, I wish to start a new open source project of my own as a mini project this semester. I wish to work more on the idea and extend it further in coming winter vacations.
But the problem is - I'm running out of ideas, most of the ones that came to my mind have already been implemented!
I would like to do something in Python (preferable), C,C++..can learn new lang if proj is interesting and have got 4 months with regular 8-6 course.
Please help out!
What I would suggest is examine the software you use and problems you are having with it, or some problem that you have that hasn't been solved by software yet.
After you find a legitimate problem that you have,set out to fix it(in the form of an open source project). That is generally a way to be successful.
Its easy to get jazzed up about something you are using to solve your own problems and it gets even easier to stay motivated when other people with the same problem identify your piece of software as a fix.
(I would probably say this is decent advice for starting a start-up as well :P)
