CiviCRM look and feel: Give some of Joomla!'s great attention to UI design and layout to CiviCRM

== One line summary ==

CiviCRM works great, but its visual design and layout could be better. Joomla! has great aesthetics and usability which would greatly benefit CiviCRM.

== Description ==

== Description ==

[CiviCRM : http://civicrm.org] is a powerful constituent relationship management system designed for the not for profit/nongovernmental organizations. It currently integrates with Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5 in legacy mode, and and the 2.1 version will be native to Joomla! 1.5.

Develop a new theme for CiviCRM based on some of the design and usability principles of Joomla!. This will involve working with Smarty templates (a PHP templating engine), CSS, HTML, and some light graphic design.

== Skills needed ==

Strong web design skills (HTML, CSS, etc.)
Strong PHP skills (experience using Smarty helps a lot).
Some graphic design ability.
Strong ability to work with people from different teams.

== Difficulty ==

== Work Product ==

A new theme (and possibly deeper patches to templates and code) for CiviCRM that enhances its visual design and usability.

CiviCRM features: Modify the import feature in CiviCRM so that it can accept any field from any module in the import

== One line summary ==

Modify CiviCRM's import feature so that you can have any field from any CiviCRM module (CiviEvent, CiviGrant, CiviContribute, etc.) in the import set and it will put the correct value in the correct field.

== Description ==

[CiviCRM : http://civicrm.org] is a powerful constituent relationship management system designed for the not for profit/nongovernmental organizations. It currently integrates with Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5 in legacy mode, and and the 2.1 version will be native to Joomla! 1.5.

Currently you have to split an import into different field sets to get all data imported into CiviCRM because each module has its own import tool which understands the unique fields of that module. This is less than ideal for real-world scenarios where data are not cleanly divided along the lines of CiviCRM's modules.

A huge improvement could probably be rather easily achieved by giving the main import tool the ability to understand and map fields to other modules. This could be done by just namespacing the fields, or having modules register their custom fields with the system in some fashion when they're enabled.

== Skills needed ==

Excellent PHP and MySQL skills.
Strong ability to work with people from different teams.

CiviCRM features: Develop a generic CMS integration web service API for CiviCRM and have Joomla! use it

== One line summary ==

Develop a new web service API (or some other creative, cross-platform solution) to serve as a CMS-agnostic integration API for CiviCRM and move Joomla! over to it.

== Description ==

[CiviCRM : http://civicrm.org] is a powerful constituent relationship management system designed for the not for profit/nongovernmental organizations. It currently integrates with Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5 in legacy mode, and the 2.1 version will be native to Joomla! 1.5.

Currently CiviCRM integrates with Drupal and Joomla! only. But ideally CiviCRM would be able to integrate with any CMS, even those not written in PHP (WebGUI in Perl or Plone in Python).

== Skills needed ==

Excellent PHP and MySQL skills.
Experience working with web services (for example, an understanding of the difference between XML-RPC and REST)

==Title==

CiviCRM features: Develop a CiviSync module that can run scheduled data sync operations between external data sources

== One line summary ==

Develop a new module for CiviCRM called CiviSync that would piggyback on the existing import/export functionality to allow the definition of external data sources and schedule sync operations between them and CiviCRM.

== Description ==

[CiviCRM : http://civicrm.org] is a powerful constituent relationship management system designed for the not for profit/nongovernmental organizations. It currently integrates with Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5 in legacy mode, and the 2.1 version will be native to Joomla! 1.5.

Currently manual imports and exports of contact and activity data can be performed using features already available in CiviCRM. This consists of uploading/downloading CSV (comma-separated values) files and defining their schema (column names and how they map to CiviCRM's fields).

== Skills needed ==

Excellent PHP and MySQL skills.
Strong ability to work with people from different teams.
