Google Summer of Code/2025/Project ideas

This page lists a number of ideas for potential Google Summer of Code 2025 projects. This page's primary purpose is to help to give potential applicants ideas that they can build on to turn into applications for the program. Members of the OSM developer community are encouraged to identify ideas for projects, and indicate whether they would be willing to act as a mentor for a GSoC contributor attempting the project, using the GSoC idea template.
