+
+1. General Comments
+
+   a. Reduce content on website. Too much content on the site makes it
+          look bulky and hence many times other lightweight themes
+          cannot be implemented. Even too many links on the site. We can
+          come up with better way to display side navigations, Few
+          examples at
+          `*https://dcrazed.com/jquery-navigation-plugins-menus/* <https://dcrazed.com/jquery-navigation-plugins-menus/>`__
+
+    `*http://cssmenumaker.com/menu/modern-accordion-menu#* <http://cssmenumaker.com/menu/modern-accordion-menu#>`__
+
+a. Git implementation to be done. Currently the completed books are save
+       on the server and its entry in database. On completed book
+       checkbox selection the files should be automatically be pushed to
+       GIT repo.
+
+1. Apache Solr Search
+
+   a. New searching techniques to be implemented.
+
+    `*https://wunder.io/blog/build-advanced-content-listings-with-apache-solr-search-api-facet-api/2012-04-20* <https://wunder.io/blog/build-advanced-content-listings-with-apache-solr-search-api-facet-api/2012-04-20>`__
+
+a. Result display of search can be improved.
+
+b. Sometimes cannot handle search limit, throws Indexoutofbound()
+       exception.
+
+1. Textbook Companion/Lab Migration
+
+   a. User dashboard according to each role
+
+   b. Improve mail functions.
+
+   c. The overall way how the data is displayed can be improved. Can use
+          flat UI.

+
+a. Payment interface to be tested.
+
+1. Scilab Toolbox Interface
+
+   a. Currently, this content is added as static HTML. An interface to
+          be developed which will take data as input and render it to
+          the decided format. The parameters to be given by scilab team.
+
+2. Scilab on cloud
+
+   a. Currently the Categories loaded are written static. For future
+          scope this should also be loaded dynamically from the
+          database.

+FOSSEE Website

+| URL   | http://fossee.in/   |

+
+1. Statistics Module
+
+   a. The overall code written needs to be simplified and an standard
+          way to add new projects needs to be implemented. Currently the
+          process is quite complicated.
+
+2. Inventory System
+
+   a. We can add inventory system to the site where the office staff can
+          add details of hardwares and other stationery and can assign
+          to the FOSSEE Employees.
