+**Mentors**
+
+Add your ideas below with your name as a possible mentor. [Register with GSOC as
+a
+mentor](https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/profile/mentor/google/gsoc2013?org=chromium)
+using your chromium.org account.
+
+**Students**
+
+Since Chromium is a huge project and Summer of Code is in just a few months, you
+will be a lot more successful tackling these projects if you contributed patches
+to Chromium before.
+
+The [For Developers page](/developers) contains information on how to check out
+the source code and build Chromium.
+
+Here are a few project ideas you might want to work on:
+
+**Improvements to flakiness dashboard**
+
+Possible mentors: Ojan Vafai
+
+Chromium has a dashboard for flaky tests. If many tests fail in one run,
+appengine times out during results upload. This should be fixed.
+
+<http://crbug.com/224008>
+
+**De-flake Instant Extended browser tests, write unit tests**
+
+Possible mentors: ?
+
+The new Instant Extended feature has some browser tests that are flaky, and
+could also use unit tests.
+
+**Debug disabled tests**
+
+Possible mentors: ?
+
+Many of our tests are marked as DISABLED_. Debug the ones that fail reliably,
+fix whatever bugs you uncover, and enable the test again.
+
+**Improvements to the Dr. Memory memory debugging tool**
+
+Possible mentors: Derek Bruening, Qin Zhao
+
+Dr. Memory finds memory-based errors (buffer overflows, use-after-free, etc.) in
+Chromium code on Windows. The tool needs additional work in order to find
+uninitialized reads on graphical Chromium tests and running the full browser
+without false positives. See [further information and a list of Dr.
+Memory-specific projects](http://code.google.com/p/drmemory/wiki/Projects).
+
+**SPDY compliance tests**
+
+Possible mentors: Fred Akalin
+
+It would be really useful to have a suite of tests to validate that a SPDY
+client or server conforms to the spec. httpbis (the next version of HTTP) will
+be based on SPDY, so this work could dovetail into compliance tests for httpbis
+also. The best language for the tests is probably Python.
+
+**Your own idea!**
