This page is an open list for ideas for the 2007 edition of Google Summer of Code. It will remain editable while the submission process is open.
This list is not exhaustive. It is just a collection of some ideas. To get further ideas, you can also look at our list of ideas for the year 2006
Before proceeding, please read the participation instructions. They are useful for students and developers alike. Before editing this page, please take a look at the Notes on editing this page section at the end.
You may want to take a look at the ideas page for 2006. Some of the ideas there are still valid today.
These ideas were contributed by our developers and users. They are sometimes vague or incomplete. If you wish to submit a proposal based on these ideas, you may wish to contact the developers and find out more about the particular suggestion you're looking at.
If there is no specific contact given you can ask questions on the general KDE development list email@example.com. See the KDE mailing lists page for information on available mailing lists and how to subscribe.
When adding an idea to this section, please try to include the following data:
Project Information: KPassivePopup is the class that displays information next to taskbar icons, system tray icons or windows without interrupting the user. It is used both directly and by KNotify and is part of libkdeui.
Brief explanation: Convert KPassivePopup to use QSvg for the frame etc. this would allow it to be much more flexible in its visual appearance and could allow us to eliminate the various custom implementations that are floating around. This would include examining these forks and ensuring the same functionality could be cleanly incorporated.
Expected results: The intended result would be a single implementation of KPassivePopup that could be reused without copying code by applications such as Kopete that currently maintain their own versions.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: A prequisite would be knowledge of Qt/KDE and the ability to setup a KDE build environment. Knowledge of SVG would obviously be a big help.
Mentor: Richard Moore <email@example.com>, Aaron Seigo <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
Solid is the KDE hardware abstraction layer, that enables KDE programs to get consistent results when running on different platforms.
Besides being restricted to running in the sandbox of an application usage for text and file processing or other administrative or server side tasks in a command line interpreter are thinkable. Consider what made e.g. Perl successfull. What's lacking are modules providing the necessary functions.
Brief explanation: The project would start out with gathering an overview of typical functions found in other scripting languages like Perl, Python and Tcl. The most important ones would then be selected and implemented in (at first) C++ modules that are dynamically loaded by the KJS command line interpreter.
Expected results: A set of low-level modules like File, CGI, JSON or similar with a documented set of constructors, functions and properties. They should form the base for pure JavaScript modules to be build on top.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: Some C++ programming knowledge is required. Knowledge about other scripting languages like Python and Perl would be advantageous.
Mentor: Harri Porten <email@example.com>.
Project Information: Sonnet will be the future grammar, spell-checking and language detection framework in kde.
Brief explanation: Make kateparts compatible and integrated with Sonnet framework.
Expected results:
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: I don't konw but probably C++, parsers, kate parts and language studies.
Project Information: Kross is a modular scripting framework that provides a complete framework to embed scripting interpreters like Python, Ruby and KDE JavaScript transparently into native applications to bridge the static and dynamic worlds together.
Brief explanation: While Kross does already provide access to Python, Ruby and KDE JavaScript, Java is missing. With a Java backend we could provide access to JDBC databases, Hibernate, Sandboxes and all the other goodies.
Expected results:
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: knowledge of C/C++, be able to get into the dark details of embedding Java.
Mentor: Sebastian Sauer <email@example.com>
Project Information: KDEPrint is the well known and very advanced printing platform common to all KDE applications.
Brief explanation: Redesign user interfaces related to printing. Improve usability.
Expected results: Produce an improved set of graphic interfaces to KDE's printing technology, based on usability reports already available and using new (original) usability ideas.
Prerequisites: C++, KDE/Qt programming, experience with design and creation of usable UI.
Mentor: Cristian Tibirna <email@example.com>
Project Information: KDEPrint is the well known and very advanced printing platform common to all KDE applications.
Brief explanation: Port the current KDEPrint code to supporting CUPS later than 1.2, both in KDE-3.5 and KDE-4 branches.
Expected results: Based on the already very well thought out interface to CUPS-1.1, work is necessary for supporting new features and following bug fixes in the latest incarnation of CUPS, the most important backend of KDEPrint.
Prerequisites: C, C++, KDE/Qt programming, writing code following specifications.
Mentor: Cristian Tibirna <email@example.com>
Project Information: KDEPrint is the well known and very advanced printing platform common to all KDE applications.
Brief explanation: Port the KDEPrint code of KDE-4 branch to latest Qt-4/KDE-4 libraries technologies.
Expected results: This task requires a thorough analysis of technologies used by KDEPrint in the previous (KDE-3.5) incarnation and replacement as needed with new or improved equivalents from Qt-4/KDE-4. Use of the new intercommunication technologies (D-Bus) and new notification technologies is required.
Prerequisites: C, C++, KDE/Qt programming, willingness to learn D-Bus as well as KDE-4 APIs.
Mentor: Cristian Tibirna <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Project Information: KDEPrint is the well known and very advanced printing platform common to all KDE applications.
Brief explanation: Add support to KDEPrint for the new OpenPrinting Database which allows on-line search for new (locally unavailable) drivers for printers during printer installation.
Expected results: This task requires a good learning of the OpenPrinting Database Querying interface. Getting accustomed with KDEPrint's printer installation algorithms is also required. Target platform is KDE-4 but time permitting, a port to KDE-3.5 would be welcome.
Prerequisites: C, C++, KDE/Qt programming
Mentor: Cristian Tibirna <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Project Information: KIconLoader is the class the fetches icons from disk on demand and returns pixmap data for use on screen. This project would add an on-disk binary cache to be used for SVG icons.
Brief explanation: See my blog entry here for a description of the problem.
Expected results: A transparent cache that would increase the efficiency of SVG icon usage at runtime, with the possibility of adding runtime composition capabilities to KIconLoader.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: A prequisite would be the ability to setup a KDE build environment. Qt/KDE programming knowledge is not a high requirement for this task, though the student will obviously be picking some of that up as they go. Experience with similar projects involving caching would be good.
Mentor: Aaron Seigo <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
(Note: KIconLoader would benefit from a generic cache, not limited only to SVG but usable also for PNG icons. See the second paragraph of the benefits section in the blog entry for reasons [less disk seeking]. I think it would make sense to change this to a generic cache for KIconLoader. Lubos Lunak <firstname.lastname@example.com> )
Project Information: The goal of this project would be to implement and integrate into KDE4 a Konqueror equivalent of FireFox's Greasemonkey plugin to allow installing and running user scripts. The project could start of from this existing GPL-ed code.
It seems that someone is already well on their way to completing this already: http://namshub-kde.blogspot.com/2007/01/more-work-on-konquerors-user-scripts.html
Expected results: A Greasemonkey equivalent for Konqueror that allows (de)installing and running Greasemonkey compatible user scripts.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: C++ programming skills
Brief explanation: Ordering the icons on the desktop has always been a pain for the users. They invent a certain arrangement (images top left, devices lower right, ...) and try to stick with it. Whenever they drop something to the Desktop folder in their filemanager, or when they plug in a new device the icon appears at an arbitrary location. Using clustering techniques and meta information about the existing icons, it would be possible to determine the most useful location for a new icon on the desktop.
Expected results: Improve the icon placing strategy of kdesktop (plasma) using clustering techniques.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: Familiarity with clustering algorithms or motivation to study them, C++/Qt coding skills
Project Information: KWin is the KDE window manager, an application responsible for managing all windows.
Brief explananation: Some window managers (e.g. Ion or wmii) have the ability to divide the screen to smaller sections which make it simpler to work with several windows at the same time (window maximize only to its tile, etc.).
Expected results: Implemented tiling support in KWin.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite:
Mentor: Lubos Lunak <email@example.com>.
Project Information: KWin is the KDE window manager, an application responsible for managing all windows.
Brief explanation: Xinerama (and various implementations known also as e.g. MergedFB or TwinView) is an X server extension that merges two or more physical monitors into one large display. KDE already provides a decent support for Xinerama, but there is still room for improvement, in particular, different monitors are linked together even in cases when it might be more beneficial to have them independent, for example with virtual desktops.
Expected results: Improved Xinerama support in KDE/KWin. Specifically, making virtual desktops on different Xinerama displays independent, per KDE bugreport #107302, and related fixes/changes.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite:
Mentor: Lubos Lunak <email@example.com>.
Project Information: Strigi is a promosing alternative to other desktop search tools, like Beagle/Kerry. It has a plugin architecture that allows writing indexing plugins for a specific area, or specific enhanced purposes. Available are both inline plugins (written in C++), as well as plugins that call programs written in other languages via the command line. Strigi is showing progress towards integration to semantic desktop ideas, as in the Nepomuk project. This allows chemical information to be semantically marked up, and easily retrieved.
Brief explanation: The idea of this project is to integrate chemistry and biology knowledge into the KDE desktop, by writing chemistry and biology aware plugins for Strigi. Exact molecule searching on the hard disk will be supported via the InChI. For the rest, normal free text searching will do fine for now. Generation of InChI's will be done via OpenBabel, for files supported by the Chemical MIME's (which has existing KDE support) and kfile-chemical (which is available for KDE3 and KDE4). Optionally, the student can incorporate the chemical text mining tool OSCAR3 developed in Cambridge, UK, to extract InChI's from text documents, like PDF, HTML, etc. Here Strigi's jstream technology come in handy, as it will provide a plain text version for all those formats. Extraction of biochemical information is much easier, as these files commonly plain text already.
Expected results: Strigi plugins that:
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: knowledge of C++ is a requirement, as is high school education in chemistry and biology.

Mailing list: email@example.com
Project Information: There are several 3D molecular editors, but only few open source programs, such as Ghemical. The GPL-ed OpenBabel project open chemistry library has expanded its usefulness improving chemistry software. This resulted in, among other things, an application and library called Avogadro. Kalzium and Avogadro will soon merge a lot of code so that both apps share an underlying rendering library for molecules (using OpenGL). Avogadro already has basic "molecule construction" capabilities. The goal of this project is to extend these such to yield a 3D editor suitable for basic molecular drawing and visualization for high school and university students.
Expected results: The improved application would be based on the new OpenGL based rendering code, and able to construct common organic molecules (such as this one). The 3D-display code inside Kalzium will be reused and expanded to handle, for example, protein "ribbon" views, surfaces, and surface-mapped functions like electronic charge. Additional features such as configurable labels (for atoms, protein residues, etc.) and flexibility to change rendering for individual atoms or bonds would be welcome.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: Basic Qt-knowledge and basic chemistry knowledge. OpenGL experience welcome.
Mentor: Carsten Niehaus (cniehaus at kde dot org)

Project Information: Marble is a Qt 4-based generic virtual globe widget which is meant to integrate well with the KDE desktop to provide basic input and visualisation facilities for geographical data. Marble currently lives in http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/marble/ and the author would like to see Marble be included with KDE-Edu soon. More information: the Marble description.
Brief explanation: To be properly integrated with other applications a 2D View for Marble will be needed in addition to the preferred 3D View (e.g. for merging functionality of KGeography and Marble). Three steps are suggested:
Depending on the knowledge of the applicant the refactoring part can be extended.
Expected results: adding the 2D View Mode to Marble. Optionally, if enough time is available, integrate that view mode in another application like KGeography.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: basic knowledge of C++ is a pre-requirement. Basic highschool trigonometry knowledge would be helpful. Other useful skills, but not mandatory are:

Project Information: Marble is a Qt 4-based generic virtual globe widget which is meant to integrate well with the KDE desktop to provide basic input and visualisation facilities for geographical data. Marble currently lives in http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/marble/ and the author would like to see Marble be included with KDE-Edu soon. More information: the Marble description.
Brief explanation: There are a lot of other interesting projects that would make a nice Google Summer of Code 2007 project each on their own. Keep in mind that all those should be introduced in an unobtrusive manner as Marble is aimed at casual users without much technical knowledge. So a larger part should be dedicated on the usability (Of course it needs to work, too ;-):
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: All these projects require that the student is a self-starter and will be able to do some research concerning the topics on their own. Beyond that you should have basic C++ knowledge. Prior Qt experience is a plus.

Project Information: Step is interactive physical simulator for education. It is very young program recently ported to KDE4. You can find more about it here: http://edu.kde.org/step/ .
Note: This entry is added by author of the Step who want to apply to SoC as a student himself and seeking for mentor (as suggested on kdeedu mailing list).
Brief explanation: In order to be useful and to be included in kdeedu Step needs a lot more features than it currently has (it is only two month old). I propose adding the following features to Step (the list will be filtered to fit in SoC timeframe):
Project Information: KPilot is the KDE application which synchronizes Palm OS PDAs with various KDE applications, including KMail, KAddressbook and Calendar. KPilot makes use of the pilot-link library to handle the interaction between the device and the conduits. These conduits are plugins which handle the actual synchronization of the items. For more information see [1]
Brief explanation: The vast majority of KPilot's conduits are record-based in nature. This means that the logical program flow for each of the conduits is very much the same in that they will each:
But the current conduit framework does not abstract this common functionality into a set of base classes as it should. This has resulted in a lot of duplicated code throughout KPilot's conduit base, and each conduit has its own way of handling this common functionality. Understandably, this has led to bugs in the syncing algorithms and has made maintainability of the conduits (and KPilot) a much more difficult thing than it should be. For every conduit, the maintainer has to learn how the actual syncing is done. To make matters worse, there are a couple of conduits which don't sync correctly because of a incomplete implementation of handling records.
Expected results: The student will create an improved framework for KPilot's record-based conduits and (re)implement a (new) conduit as a proof of concept.

Mailing list: The kde-pim mailing list: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-pim&r=1&w=2.
KitchenSync is the frontend to the generic synchronization system OpenSync. It is supposed to become the standard syncing solution for KDE. Right now it already supports synchronization of KDE PIM data with a wider variety of mobile devices like phones and PDAs as well was synchronization with other applications like Evolution or Google calendar.
KitchenSync works pretty well as OpenSync, but doesn't yet cover all functionality OpenSync provides. The goal of this project would be to improve that. For example the configuration GUIs for the various OpenSync plugins would need some work.
This project requires some knowledge in KDE programming. It will also involve collaboartion with the OpenSync team, so some experience with C is helpful.

KOrganizer Theming: In the real world calendars are made from paper and carry lots of pretty pictures, witty sayings, historical data or similar things. Compared to that calendar programs are extremely plain. One of the intents of the CalendarDecoration plugin interface for KOrganizer was to make it possible to add theming to the calendar views, so that you can add all the fun things which make paper calendars more than just a bunch of papers with dates on it. Combined with the KNewStuff technology this could bring much more color to our desktops and make KOrganizer interesting to people which currently wouldn't think of using a calendar program.
Mentor: Cornelius Schumacher <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Project Information: Kombination is a KDE4 scrabble clone. The project would be adding an artificial intelligence interface and at least one engine. Kombination currently lives in trunk/playground/games/kombination/ and the author would like to see Kombination be included with KDE Games soon. More information: the Kombination web page.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: basic knowledge of C++ is a pre-requirement. Basic knowledge of Scrabble rules is a must too. KDE and Qt skills will be useful but not mandatory.
Mentor: Albert Astals Cid <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
Mailing list: The kombination mailing list: http://home.gna.org/kombination/ .
Project Information: Kate is a multi document editor, based on a rewritten version of the kwrite editing widget of KDE, offering all the features of that plus a bunch of its own.
Brief explanation: Make Kate a much more capable yet still lightweight development tool for KDE4. Add features to Kate including CVS and SVN integration (either via recognition of the kdesvn or kcvs utilities, or with a custom implementation), Eclipse-like workspace and project management, and build environment integration for various languages/tools via an extensible interface. Scale Kate as much as needed to accomodate these changes, and not beyond that (at least for the scope of this project).
Expected results: The intended result would be a stable and extended implementation of Kate, providing CVS and SVN integration, Eclipse-like workspace and project management, and build environment integration.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: A prequisite would be knowledge of Qt/KDE and the ability to setup a KDE build environment. Additionally, knowledge of interfacing with source code repositories via C++, and general C++ knowledge would be required.
Mentor: Christoph Cullmann <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
Mailing list: The Kate mailing list
Project Information: Extend KDevelop's snippet support, see RFE 106165 for a detailed description (this proposal has been confirmed by popular vote).
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: basic knowledge of C++ is a pre-requirement. KDE and Qt skills will required. Likewise, familiarity with XML is probably required, too in order to provide a flexible, multi-platform file format for data storage and -exchange.
Suggested Approach: given that the envisioned functionality would probably be interesting to a rather large user base/audience, one should consider using a library-oriented approach, where key-functionality is provided in a fashion that facilitates standalone library-deployment, so that other OSS projects (i.e. other IDE projects) may eventually employ the corresponding library to add "snippet"-support, too.
Mentor: none yet

Project Information: Ruby language and Rails web development tool is rapidly gaining popularity. The goal of this project is to implement the foundations for the best possible Ruby/Rails support in KDevelop.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: advanced knowledge of C++ is a pre-requirement. KDE and Qt skills are desired but not required. At least basic knowledge of parsing theory (lexers, LL parsers, AST's) is necessary as well. This is a challenging project.
Brief Explanation: There're beginnings of Ruby support for KDevelop4 already. So the Ruby parser would be finished first and then definition-use chain for would be implemented. Those would allow to build extended code highlighting, navigation and problem reporting. The design for Ruby code completion would also be in the scope of this project.
Expected Results:

Project Information: Amarok website
Brief explanation: Amarok's motto is Rediscover your music. Since listening to music can be a somewhat uninteresting experience, we try to enhance this aspect in a number of ways:
etc, etc. I'm sure you are more than familiar with the 'omg-im-going-to-wet-myself-this-is-so-cool' experience that you have at least once experienced.
We would like to see some sort of enhancement to meta-information which can be displayed to the user. Some ideas that come to mind may include:
Expected results: The student will come up with a set of web-service enhancements and will implement them so that they integrate tightly with the final Amarok 2.0 interface and design goals.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: basic knowledge of C++ is a pre-requirement. Other useful skills, but not mandatory are:
Mentor: Seb Ruiz <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Mailing list: The Amarok mailing list
Brief explanation: Since the introduction of the integrated Magnatune.com music store in Amarok, there has been many proposals for other stores or services that could be integrated in a simmilar way. In the process of working towards Amarok 2.0, a new framework for adding such services without cluttering the interface has been proposed and the Magnatune store has been ported to this framework. Adding a new store or service is a nice way of getting into coding on Amarok at is fairly easy to approach witout knowing all the intricate details of Amaroks inner workings.
There are several types of services that could be of interest:
The service chosen will have to be legal, and the service must agree to the integration taking place.
There are currently no concrete agreements in place with other services, so this is very much a "bring your own idea" project, which both makes it a bit harder to get started, but also more rewarding.
Expected results: The student reaches an agreement with a music store/service/whatnot and integrates its service into Amarok. Some effort would most likely also be spent on helping to mature the service framework.

Project Information: okular is a KDE 4 document viewer. http://www.okular.org
Mailing list: The okular mailing list
Explanation: okular uses the Poppler library to render the PDF files. Some files with complex patterns may take even minutes to render, while with Acrobat Reader just a couple of seconds.
Expected results: One needs to improve the Poppler library code that handles rendering of PDF files with patterns, making the pattern rendering faster with no drawbacks.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: basic knowledge of C++ is a requirement. Qt4 is strongly suggested too. Graphics and PDF konwledge are strongly suggested as well, but not mandatory.
Mentor: Albert Astals Cid <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Explanation and Expected results: okular has a presentation mode for displaying documents on the screen in a way similar to a presentation application (think about KPresenter, OpenOffice.org Impress). Currently, the mode can just display only a single page, at the maximum size allowed by the screen. The idea is to extend the presentation mode by adding:
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: knowledge of C++ and Qt4 is a requirement. KDE 4, graphics and PDF konwledge are strongly suggested as well, but not mandatory.
Mentor: Albert Astals Cid <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Explanation and Expected results: one of the okular's goals is to support the annotations, mainly coming from PDF documents (but also from DjVu and ODT documents). As the support is not yet complete, some ideas could be:

KBugBuster is a native KDE client for the bug tracking system Bugzilla. It allows to browse, search and view bug reports and make modifications to them. It provides features which the web interface can't provide like an offline mode.
One potential task would be to make KBugBuster work with the XML-RPC interface of Bugzilla. This would make access to Bugzilla more robust and make it possible to better support the editing of bug reports.
Mentor: Cornelius Schumacher <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Knoware is previous SOC project. It creates a system that collates bug reports as well as anonymous system specs offered by users. It provides a statistical way of matching up bugs to likely culprits in a system or configuration so that developers can get a better handle on what the problem likely as as well as informing users of KDE what the potential pitfalls of their current system could be.
One potential task would be to document the current system for further development. Another could be porting the curent code to Qt4.
There are a couple of tools available for Qt / KDE that allow testing of applications - squish and kdexecutor. Both are binary only, and are specific to the systems that they are built on.
It would be useful to have an open source tool that allowed us to test applications in a scripted way. Similar open source tools include Dogtail and LDTP, which use the accessibility interfaces in Gnome.
There are arguments for and against using accessibility - it might be a lot more useful to implement a separate system, using some of the Qt4 specific features including QMetaObject. Qt4 has a nice set of hooks, and QTestLib shows how they can be implemented. However instead of requiring specific code in the application (as done by QTestLib), it would be more flexible to use LD_PRELOAD and a small interface library.

KOffice has a generic text-tool. Which will allow KWord to show all the complexity of text needed for word processing and DTP while other KOffice apps can reuse the component as well. The text tool (based on Flake) has a plugin structure allowing external development to create extra functionality. A tutorial on how to build one will be written by the KOffice developers soon.
Mentor: KOffice or KDE developers
It should be a tool, like the gradient tool or the color-picking tool. (see Flake) The tool would give you a set of brushes and each brush is defined as an outline only. So you'd have a 10pt wide circle as one brush, and a heart shaped brush as another. The tool will allow the user to 'stamp' or paint using these brushes and can use the Qt4.3 binary path operations to modify the vector shape.

In KOffice2.0 tables as we know it in 1.x has been removed. The tables for KOffice2 have to be based on the text engine (qt-scribe) which already knows about html-style-tables. The SoC proposal is to extend this and add tables support to KWord again using the ODF specification for the feature list that is required of tables.
Mentor: KOffice or KDE developers
Brief explanation: KWord comes with a Scripting Plugin based on Kross. The plugin provides a clean interface to offer access to the KWord functionality from within scripting backends.
Expected results: Improve the current scripting plugin.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: knowledge of C++/Qt, experience with word-processing
Mentor: Sebastian Sauer <email@example.com>
Brief explanation: Currently Kexi allows importing CSV files into an existing database, and converting MySQL/PostgreSQL/MS Access databases into Kexi databases.
The aim of this project is to provide plugin(s) that import from more database backends/formats.
You can select a backend you like to implement migration for:
For the ODBC driver, a migration plugin and a backend plugin should be provided. For Paradox, only a migration plugin is required, although this will require modifying the migration framework to allow more than one file to be selected as the source database (i.e. the database to be imported).
Both a migration plugin and a backend plugin could be provided for HSQLDB, which should be implemented using JNI to invoke JDBC methods in the HSQLDB library.
In any case, migration plugins are simpler to implement than direct access plugins (drivers), so these can be developed first.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: knowledge of C++, (knowledge of Qt and experience with a given database format/backend is recommended)

Mentor: Jaroslaw Staniek <email@example.com>, Sebastian Sauer <email@example.com>
Mailing list: kexi-devel
Brief explanation: Web Forms allow to read-only or read-write access to database projects created with Kexi. It is optional feature for uses where client has no Kexi installed for any reason. The fact that the Web Forms will use Web standards, adds another advantage over competitors like MS Access (which uses proprietary Windows-only ActiveX bindings).
Proposed solution is to develop a small standalone web server. It is probably already written in C++ or C by FOSS community. Good examples are lighttpd - http://www.lighttpd.net/ and (being already in KDEnetwork module) KPF - http://rikkus.info/kpf.html.
The web serwer would be dynamically linked to kexidb and thus can access Kexi databases via universal KexiDB API, and create HTML content on demand as an answer to HTTP requests.
For alternative solution see "Alternative solution for Kexi forms using PHP" below.
Knowledge Pre-Requisite: knowledge of C++ and HTTP/web standards, (knowledge of Qt and experience with a given database format/backend is recommended)
More info: Solution proposed by Jacek Migdal last year
Mentor: Jaroslaw Staniek <email@example.com>
Mailing list: kexi-devel

The following became a guest column in the Oct. 2 Tomahawk Leader.
Primer in school funding …
and the predicament
when state budget is unknown
By Al Prosser
Tomahawk School District Administrator
Is our current school funding formula in need of a change? That question gets asked just about every time the state elects a new governor, or when it is faced with developing a new state budget. The answer to the question most often depends upon just who is doing the asking. In the end, it is the State Supreme Court that hears the challenges to our school funding formula. For the most part, the court has held the current system does meet legal challenges.
The current system dates back to 1993. At that time, the Legislature and the governor placed schools under revenue caps. The caps limit the amount of revenue a school district can raise. In 1993, the state determined how much each school district spent on a per-student basis. This became the base revenue limit. The base revenue limit is adjusted annually for inflation. One per-student base revenue limit during the 2006-2007 school year was $8,512.53. Because we do not have a new state budget, we do not have the inflationary increase for 2007-2008. Absent a state budget, we continue under the old budget and would use the old amount of $256.93 per student. Our annual inflationary adjustment has been about 3 percent per year.
School budgets begin on July 1 and end June 30 of each year. Our 2007-2008 budget opened on July 1, 2007. It will close on June 30, 2008. We have been expending money and paying bills since the first of July. Monthly expenditures total between $1.25 and $2 million dollars. Our projected budget for 2007-2008 is over $18 million.
Why do I say our "projected" school budget? The revenue limits are based upon a three-year rolling average of student enrollment. The enrollment count does not take place until the third Friday in September. We just took the count Friday, Sept. 21. The new enrollment count will be placed in the revenue limit calculation worksheet, and the revenue limit for the district will be determined by the Department of Public Instruction. Information and copies of these worksheets can be found on the DPI's web site, www.dpi.state.wi.us.
The revenue limit is supported by two sources of revenue. The first is state equalization aid. The second is the local property tax. State equalization aid is based upon the total property value in the district on a per-student basis. Districts with high property values per student receive little equalization aid. Districts with low property values per student member receive more equalization aid. Equalization aid is to balance spending across the state. It is felt that districts with high property values can afford to cover more of the total school costs at the local level, and thus need less help from the state.
At the state level, government is funding two-thirds of the cost of school expenses, but at the local level it is a different situation. Currently the Tomahawk School District receives about 30 percent of its revenue from the state. As property values change, the level of state equalization aid also changes. When the state fails to fund part of its share, local property taxes make up the difference. In its simplest form, the revenue cap minus state equalization aid equals the local property tax levy.
The Department of Public Instruction is responsible for certifying the district's state equalization aid by Oct. 15 of each year. Once the district has received the revenue limit and the certified equalization aid from the department, simple subtraction determines how much money must be raised from the local property tax. The school district then determines how much of the levy must come from each municipality in the district based upon their proportionate share of the total property value of the district. The district is obligated by statute to certify the tax levy amount to the municipality by Nov. 6.
While we begin operating under the new budget on July 1, we do not finalize that budget until early November. A third of the school year has been completed before all parts of the budget are put into place. Until finalized, we operate based upon the best available information and history of the district's finances.
The exact impact of no state budget has yet to be determined. DPI said it would need any new budget information by last Friday to complete their work. While state budgets have been late in previous years, it has never been this late. A new budget would bring an increase in the amount of equalization aid. Absent a new state budget we rely on last year's numbers. As was pointed out earlier, when the state fails to meet its share, the difference is passed on to the property taxpayer. Absent a new state budget, increases in property taxes of 20 to 30 percent are anticipated.
The district budget for 2007-2008 increases 2 percent over the 2006-2007 budget. That increase results from revenue limits. Should we spend above the revenue limit, the state will simply deduct the overage from our final state aid payment. Since revenue limits are tied to student enrollment, our declining enrollment will limit budget increases even more in coming years. To understand the entire picture, we need to discuss the expenditure side of the budget. We will look at that next.
School funding...

Mark Diederichs and the GeoEngineering Centre
Waste Wise
People can argue endlessly about whether nuclear power is desirable. But they can't dispute the fact that, like it or not, it's a part of society – and that society needs to find a safe way to dispose of nuclear waste.
Hundreds of scientists around the world are grappling with this issue, and Dr.Mark Diederichs is in the thick of it. Diederichs, a professor of geological engineering at Queen's and a member of the GeoEngineering Centre at Queen's–RMC, is part of a Canadian research group that's designing massive underground chambers where nuclear waste can be stored safely long term. Diederichs' expertise is in figuring out how the geology and characteristics of the surrounding rock interact with shafts or tunnels excavated within it. Does the rock fracture or disintegrate? How does the tunnelling affect water flow? Will a major geological event in the distant future compromise the stability of the excavation?
There are different types of nuclear waste. The kind that captures the most public attention consists of bundled uranium fuel rods from the cores of nuclear reactors. Spent fuel, known as high-level waste, remains radioactive and is toxic to humans. It takes thousands of years to degrade to a harmless state. Used nuclear fuel destined for long-term storage is typically encased in thick jackets of copper or lead and concrete and stored in secure facilities at the site of the nuclear reactor that produced them.
Though it's less hazardous, low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste – such as nuclear plant maintenance tools and equipment, machine parts and some types of medical waste – must also be safely stored. In Ontario, contaminated material from the Darlington, Pickering and Bruce nuclear generating stations is currently stored in secure canisters at the Western Waste Management Facility near the Bruce generating station near Kincardine.
With Diederichs' assistance, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO), a government mandated, industry supported organization for which Diederichs is a technical adviser, has designed a Deep Geologic Repository, or DGR, to be built under the Bruce site. The mine-like facility, now in the licensing phase, will be bored out of limestone 680 metres underground and below a 200-metre thick shale deposit, and be large enough to contain all the low- and intermediate-level waste produced by Ontario's 20 nuclear reactors through the rest of their life cycle.
To determine the geological suitability of a potential excavation site, other geologists and engineers like Diederichs study the chemistry and physics of underground water to estimate how long it's been since it experienced a major geological transformation. In the case of the Bruce site, for instance, it's been hundreds of millions of years. While this is no guarantee that the rock will remain stable forever, it does provide a comforting outlook from a human safety perspective. Diederichs, himself, studies the physical response characteristics of the various geological units and simulates the mechanical behavior of the rock around the facility during construction and for up to a million years after closure. The point of the testing is to ensure that no radioactivity will reach the layers of water above it if the underground site is somehow compromised. All indications are that the geology at the Bruce site provides this safety barrier.
Diederichs is also involved with NWMO's other big research project: a deep-storage facility for Canada's high-level nuclear waste. Because the stakes are so high, it will take at least a decade to choose a location for the facility and another 20 to 30 years before it's actually built. The public must be satisfied that it will be safe – the exhaustive consultation process is called Adaptive Phase Management – and accomplishing this can be even tougher than the engineering and construction of the site. In fact, in the 1990s, the Canadian government was considering a deep-storage facility dug out of the Canadian Shield. The project was shelved not because of complex technical issues but, as one scientist observed, "because of public dread."
"Nuclear waste is all about communication," says Diederichs. "We can work on the technical issues as geologists and engineers, but at the end of the day our work in that area has to be communicated to the public. That's hard to do, because the time scales we're dealing with are very challenging. How do you persuade someone that something will be safe for basically forever? This is where geology and geological engineering become as much about the future as it is about the past."
The GeoEngineering Centre
The GeoEngineering Centre consists of professors and graduate students from four different engineering departments at Queen 's and the Royal Military College (RMC). Together, the colleagues bring new knowledge and techniques to the fields of geotechnical, geohydrological, geochemical, geomechanical and geosynthetics engineering.
For instance, at Queen 's, Dr. Ian Moore leads a team of students that designs stronger and more durable culverts, those arched metal, concrete and polymer tubes that are buried under roads and rail lines to allow streams and rivers, or people, cars and trains, to pass through.
At RMC, civil engineering professor Dr. Richard Bathurst designs earthquake -resistant retaining walls – vertical or near-vertical "earth structures" used to contain rocks and soil behind highway overpasses, reservoirs and buildings. Bathurst 's laboratory includes a "shaking table," a nine -metre square solid-steel platform on which he constructs small-scale retaining walls, then activates to mimic the violent back-and-forth motion of an earthquake.
Also at Queen's, Dr. Kerry Rowe is a world leader in landfill design whose work is helping to prevent toxic leachate in dumps from polluting nearby soil and groundwater.
Mark Diederichs was one of the recipients of the 2015 Prizes for Excellence in Research. Read his interview

USDA Issues New School Lunch Nutrition Standards
The U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled new school nutrition rules on Jan. 25, aimed at improving child nutrition and combating childhood obesity. The regulations represent the first major change to school meal standards in more than 15 years. They will be phased in over the next three years, starting in the fall.
Under the guidelines, schools will be required to offer fruits and vegetables every day, increase the number of whole-grain foods and serve foods with less sodium and fat content than previously served. Only fat-free and low-fat milk will be allowed in school cafeterias.
In addition, the rules require portion sizes that ensure children receive calories appropriate to their age. A lunch for kindergarten through fifth grade students will contain no more than 650 calories on average. The limit goes up to 700 calories for sixth through eighth grades, and 850 calories for ninth through 12th grades.
The new requirements are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act signed into law last year by President Barack Obama and championed by the First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Let's Move! campaign.
The nutritional overhaul is estimated to cost roughly $3.2 billion to implement over the next five years. The act provides more funding to schools to help cover the extra costs associated with the menu changes.

text: This is a very light summery french toast recipe that you can prepare the night before. I have noticed though that only woman are the ones that choose this option. I am not sure if men typically like the savory choices like my husband or they are just unsure if this will satisfy. Served with bacon though, I think they would be pleasantly surprised. Strawberry Banana French Toast - Serves 4-6 depending on portion size. 5 eggs, 3/4 C milk, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1 TB vanilla, 1 loaf french bread, cut into thick slices, 1 ( 20oz ) bag of frozen strawberries. I also used fresh in combination though too, 4 sliced bananas, 1 C sugar, 1 TB apple pie spice, and 2 TB cinnamon sugar. Mix eggs, milk, baking powder and vanilla. Lay sliced french bread slices in a 8x10 pan. Pour milk mixture over bread and let soak overnight. In the morning preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine strawberries, bananas slices, sugar and apple pie spice. Put in a greased 8x10 baking dish and top with prepared bread slices from the evening before. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake 20-25 minutes. Spoon strawberries and bananas over bread. Drizzle maple syrup over the top and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Served with bacon and cheesy hashbrowns would make the perfect combination.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown believes Arsenal have solved the defensive issues that blighted the start of their season.
Arsenal endured their worst start to a Premier League campaign under boss Arsene Wenger before turning their fortunes around to stay in contention for a Champions League spot next year.
The Gunners defence in particular came under scrutiny following the 8-2 loss against Manchester United and their 4-3 defeat against lowly Blackburn, while Wenger's defensive summer signings also came in for criticism.
However, Arsenal's defensive strength has become a pillar of their recent improvement in form that saw them go eight league games unbeaten, with the side conceding just six goals at home thus far.
Keown claims the improvements shown by the likes of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and centre-back Per Mertesacker has helped plug the holes in Arsenal's previously leaky back-line, moving them up to 5th in the league table.
"They have looked pretty solid, even with a big injury list, and Wojciech Szczesny, apart from one uncharacteristic mistake the other night, has been outstanding," the former Arsenal defender said.
"A year ago people were screaming at Arsene Wenger to go out and buy a world-class keeper, but Szczesny looks like he's going to be the solution after all. The other demand was for a commanding centre-back, and Per Mertesacker has settled in well."
Arsenal will look to keep their hopes of ending a six year trophy drought this season alive when they face Leeds in the third round of the F.A Cup on Monday night.
Mertesacker may have endured a shaky start to his career at the Emirates Stadium but has appeared much more solid in recent weeks, and now the German International says Arsenal will look to go far in the competition with the goal of ending their silverware drought.
"The FA Cup in Germany is very famous and it is very good to be part of it - it is a great feeling. Hopefully we will go through the next few rounds," he commented.

Funimation have left me in despair. They've opted for the L spelling; http://funimation.com/SpiceandWolf/ and here I was looking forward to buying the box, I think I'll cough up extra for the R2s instead (didn't end up getting the Blu-ray collector's edition due to incredibly poor exchange rate making it over $50 per episode).

Oh okay. Whoa, that is really strange, especially since Yen Press (which is doing the English release of the manga and novels) is sticking with Horo. And YP usually follow the official romantization, that's really odd on Funimations part. Actually, I can't ever remember seeing people call her Holo...

Some idiot in Japan doing art work used "Holo" instead of "Horo" (I dunno, failed romaji in school, didn't get the memo on modern romaji)? So there's been this little slap-fight over it ever since (like the wikipedia war over the spelling -- many good arguments on both sides but I tend to support "Horo" as
I haven't seen a published book using ー'lo' for 'ほろ' (ホロ) in years (or any kana chart that translates the "r" row as "l"). Also, when the actors say "Chloe" (Kuroe) you can hear them shooting for an "L" sound.... whereas "Horo" dives directly for the "r". Obviously we could argue about that forever.
The best argument *for* "Holo" seems to be that it is written in katakana... but there really aren't any European names like that (as there is for Lawrence Kraft). The best argument *for* "Horo" seems to be the Ainu word-for-wolf connection (horokeu), but there's that katakana issue.
To me, the katakana issue is cleared up by looking at an Ainu dictionary --- Ainu words are written in katakana since they aren't "native Japanese" o.O --> http://books.google.com/books?id=Cd0...=2_0#PPA138,M1 (scan down a bit for 'horokeu' and observe what japanese characters are used)
Heh, I do note the wikipedia war seems to have tilted to a solution but we have two major conflicting points as apparently Yen Press may be going with "Horo".

I remember that seeing a post before on the YP site that they go with the official spelling (I think the debate was over Pandora Hearts actually) so I assumed that they were going with the official spelling of Horo as well. And also seeing where Horo appears to come from I really don't get why some people are going with Holo. Then again, Japan seems to have serious issues spelling foreign names, it seems like every fandom has some character with a clearly western name that is misspelled.
So I guess I'm just going to be peeved at the subtitles for Spice and Wolf, might even end up putting a post-it note on my box saying "IT'S HORO NOT HOLO!"

<shrug> I probably would have conceded the debate because of the katakana counter-argument until I learned that all Ainu words are spelled using katakana. That kind of blows a hole in the "should be treated like Lawrence and Chloe" assertion. That coupled with japanese voice actor pronunciations and standard romaji charts just kind of nails it in favor of "Horo" for me. So it goes.... certainly an amazing amount of energy spent on it from both sides.

No spoilers needed.
Its a very very old bit of homeopathic magic ... you consume the vital organs of your enemy or prey to acquire their skills. The wolves view their situation with humans as a kind of arms race and the humans seem to be able to use their brains to win despite being dumb as rocks in other ways... soooooooo, at least at one point the wolves probably thought "eat the brains and we'll get smarter".
I've not seen that the story ever does more than imply that connection.

The main argument for Holo is not that it's written in Katakana, but that it is the only romaji spelling used in Japan so far and therefore really seems to be her official name.
The only official place where "Horo" has been ever used is indeed Yen Press' homepage. On the other side Holo has been used everywhere, from the japanese anime homepage, to Kadokawa's English page, to the Japanese merchandise [ one, two, three, four, and many more] and finally now by Funimation. And I completely agree with LKK here, usually the licensor decides spellings or at least approves them, especially for the main characters.
For non-japanese words though both are completely equal, because there is no choice, since japanese doesn't make a difference.
Unless we know what the author was going for, there are many possibilites, many more even than Holo and Horo.
But for the Japanese it's essentially the same sound and they never make a difference consciously. In fact, they cannot. Even if they try (for example when studying a foreign language), they have extreme difficulties, distinguishing and especially pronouncing L and R differently in a certain context and need at least some training. (Which is absolutely normal.)

Nevertheless, I am against the official choice!
Holo <---- Reminds me of "Holodeck". That name may belong to Start Trek but not to a wolf deity.
Horo <---- That sounds like belonging to an growling Wolf. Grrrrrr.... Yes, thats it.

Concerning the english pronunciation ... there are many possibilites and I'm not sure how you pronouce "Hoe-low" XD
But for example, you can stick with the Japanese L/R-sound if you want, and you can chose whether you use the japanese "o" or an english one, two times the same or different ones ^^;; At least, the japanese "o" doesn't sound like "low" and Holo uses 2 times the same "o". "Hollow" is usually spelt differently in Katakana, with a short and a long "o".
But ugh, in the end, you just have to decide for yourself, the one you prefer ... and we'll see how the official dub will handle it.

Personally if it was pronounced as "Hoe-Low" I'd be perfectly okay with that, but "Hollow" (if said in the english pronounciation) I'd find strange.

Reapplying First-Year Applicants
All re-applicants must submit any updated transcripts of recent coursework to LSAC.
- An updated CAS report will be requested.
- Re-applicants need to have a current CAS subscription and pay any additional fees to have a CAS report sent to USF.
- Any applicant who has previously registered at another law school must have a letter of good standing submitted by that school.
- In the event that the applicant sat for examinations at another law school, an official transcript and class rank are also required.
Applications for first-year students are accepted for the fall semester only. Applicants must indicate on the application form whether they are applying for the Full-Time or Part-Time program.
Applicants may apply to the Full-Time (day division) Juris Doctor Program or the Part-Time (day division) Juris Doctor Program; an applicant may not apply to both programs. Any applicant who has previously registered at another law school must have a letter of good standing submitted by that school. In the event that the applicant sat for examinations at another law school, an official transcript and class rank are also required.
Application Deadlines
|Full-Time or Part-Time (day division)
|Extended to June 3, 2019
Because the admissions committee uses a rolling admissions process, early filing is encouraged. Maximum consideration for both admission and scholarship opportunities will be given to Day Division program applications received by the extended priority deadline of June 3. Applications to the Day Division may still be accepted after the priority deadline; however, the admissions committee may reject applicants due to lack of available space in the entering class.
Application Requirements
- Application Form
Click here to complete the application form and submit it electronically through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). The electronic application will be available in early September. All mailed admission materials should be directed to the following address:
University of San Francisco School of Law
Office of Admissions
2130 Fulton Street
San Francisco, CA 94117-1080
- Education
All law school applicants are required to have completed or expect to complete a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year university or college by the time law school classes begin in August. Accepted applicants must furnish official final transcripts indicating receipt of a baccalaureate degree, as well as completion of any work in progress when the application was filed. If admitted, an official transcript showing the conferral of the baccalaureate degree must be mailed directly from the college or university to the Office of Admissions prior to the start of the fall term.
- Personal Statement
The admissions committee requires that each applicant submit a personal statement to supplement the application form. The statement is used by the committee as both a source of additional information and as a writing sample, but is not a substitute for the application.
The statement should focus on your interest in and motivation and preparation for the study of law. The committee is interested in your personal experiences, background, and accomplishments. Factors that are helpful to the committee include co-curricular activities, areas of interest, past or present employment, and college academic honors. Personal statements tend to average 2 to 4 pages in length; however, there is no page limitation to the personal statement.
If there are instances of academic probation or disqualification, applicants should be prepared to explain these situations in a separate addendum.
The personal statement should be typewritten, double spaced, and included with your application. Your resume may be attached to the statement. Please write your name on the top of each page. Number and staple pages together. If applying electronically, be sure to attach your statement electronically.
- Two Letters of Recommendation
The admissions committee requires two letters of recommendation in support of your application. An optional third letter may be submitted, but no more than three letters of recommendation will be considered for one application. Although the committee will accept recommendation letters from any two individuals designated by the applicant, the committee suggests:
- If possible, have the two recommendations completed by college faculty members (or administrators) with whom you have studied. If you have been away from college for a considerable time, you may wish to substitute other individuals, including supervisors and business colleagues, with whom you have had more recent contact.
- Choose individuals who have had substantial and recent opportunity to observe your professional and/or academic potential. Recommendations from people who have not had such opportunity are of little assistance to the committee.
- USF requires that your letters of recommendation be submitted through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service, which serves all member schools. This service is included in your Credential Assembly Service (CAS) subscription. Your recommendations will be copied by the service and sent to us along with your CAS Report.
Your CAS Report will not be released to USF until two letters of recommendation have been received by LSAC.
Be sure to follow all directions for submitting letters of recommendation as described on the LSAC web site. It is important that you fill out and give each person submitting a recommendation a letter of recommendation form. Forms can be obtained online at www.lsac.org.
- Credential Assembly Service
All reapplying first-year applicants must register for the Credential Assembly Service. Information about CAS registration is available online at www.lsac.org.
Transcripts of all college work, both undergraduate and graduate, should be sent directly to LSAC. LSAC analyzes your undergraduate college transcripts and forwards a report to each law school you designate, along with your letters of recommendation. LSAC will not release your CAS report to USF until two letters of recommendation have been received by LSAC. The committee may not consider an application if the CAS report indicates that transcripts are missing.
If you are accepted for admission, you must submit directly to the USF School of Law official transcripts showing the award of the baccalaureate degree and any graduate degrees earned. The official transcript must be sent by the degree-granting institution(s). Transcripts sent to the CAS do not fulfill this requirement. Your admission may be canceled if the Office of Admissions does not receive an official transcript prior to the first day of instruction.
If you completed your baccalaureate degree outside of the United States or Canada, USF requires that your foreign transcripts be submitted to the Credential Assembly Service (see item J).
- Law School Admission Test (LSAT)
Applicants must take the LSAT and have their score(s) reported to the USF School of Law in a CAS Report. LSAT scores are valid for five years. Any LSAT taken prior to June 2014 is considered invalid for application review. USF will utilize the highest LSAT in the review process if multiple LSAT scores are presented by the applicant.
The LSAT is currently administered seven times a year. Early scheduling is strongly recommended and you are advised to take the LSAT no later than the January 2019 test date. Applicants may take the March 2019 test; however, applicants to the Day Division may not be given maximum consideration due to the lateness of test results.
- $60.00 Application Fee
A $60.00 application fee, payable to the University of San Francisco, must be submitted with your application. If you are applying electronically, you must pay the application fee online using a valid credit card.
The application fee is not refundable. In the event that you are subsequently admitted, the fee will not be applied toward your tuition. Furthermore, if you decide to withdraw your application before a final decision is made, your application fee will not be refunded.
The required application fee may be waived for an applicant whose financial situation makes it a severe hardship to pay. Applicants requesting a waiver of this fee must submit a brief statement to the Law School Admissions Office explaining your financial situation. Information should include your current monthly income, assets and monthly expenditures. Approval of a fee waiver must be obtained prior to submitting an Application for Admission. Fee waiver requests may be sent via email to email@example.com. Please allow five business days for fee waiver requests to be processed.
Applicants granted an LSAC fee waiver will have their USF School of Law application fee automatically waived. Applicants who apply electronically to USF via LSAC will be allowed to transmit their application electronically as long as their LSAC fee waiver is for the current 2018-2098 application year.
- Diversity Statement (Optional)
In addition to the required personal statement, applicants may submit an optional diversity statement or essay that is separate from the required personal statement. An applicant may describe any factors that illustrate how he or she may add to the diversity of the law school and enrich the educational environment for all students as well as the legal profession.
For example, an applicant may want to address issues or experiences related to race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, religious affiliation, ideology, or socio-economic disadvantage.
In addition, an applicant may want to discuss atypical career aspirations, employment background, educational history, special talents or skills, or primary or secondary languages other than English.
Additional Requirements for Foreign Applicants
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
Applicants for whom English is a second language and who have not received a four-year baccalaureate degree in the United States or another country where English is the primary language are REQUIRED to take the TOEFL.This requirement also applies to recent immigrants to the U.S. who completed their undergraduate degree outside of the U.S. in a non-English speaking country or at an institution where English was not the language of instruction. The Committee will consider for admission only those applicants with TOEFL scores of 600 or above on the paper-based test or 100 or above on the TOEFL iBT exam. Information is available here. Only scores reported directly from TOEFL will be accepted.
International students who have completed a graduate degree in the United States are NOT exempt from the TOEFL requirement.
Only TOEFL exams taken after April 1, 2014, will be considered. Inquiries regarding the TOEFL requirement may be directed to the USF School of Law Admissions Office.
TOEFL results should be sent to LSAC (see item 2 below).
- International Transcripts
The USF School of Law requires that foreign transcripts be submitted through the LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS). If you completed any post-secondary college or university work outside the U.S. (including its territories) or Canada, you must use this service for the evaluation of your foreign transcripts. The one exception to this requirement is if you completed the foreign work through a study abroad, consortium, or exchange program sponsored by a U.S. or Canadian institution, and the work is clearly indicated as such on the home campus transcript.
This service is included in the CAS subscription fee. A Foreign Credential Evaluation will be completed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, which will be incorporated into your CAS report.
Foreign law school applicants also must contact the Educational Testing Service and request their TOEFL score be sent to LSAC. LSAC's TOEFL code for the JD CAS is 0058. Your score will be included in the Foreign Credential Evaluation document that will be included in your CAS report.
To use the CAS, log in to your online account and follow the registration instructions. Be sure to print out a Transcript Request Form for each institution and send it to them promptly. More time is usually required to receive foreign transcripts. Questions about the CAS can be directed to LSAC at (215) 968-1001 or email@example.com.
Disclosures/Character & Fitness
All applicants are required to complete the disclosure questions in the Character and Fitness section of the Application. USF requires applicants to disclose any issues related to academic probation, suspension, disqualification (particularly from a previous law school). In addition all applicants must disclose any felony or misdemeanor charge, arrest, conviction, or pending adjudication including a DUI (or any alcohol or drug-related offense). This includes any charge, arrest or conviction that may have been dropped or expunged. Information should include the date of each incident, full explanation of the incident, including the name of the charge, and the final disposition of each charge.
In addition, all applicants are required to notify the School of Law if any changes to the information included in their Application for Admission occur after the application has been submitted. In particular, all applicants must immediately notify the Director of Admissions if any new academic probation, suspension, disqualification issues arise, or if any new charge, arrest or conviction of any felony or misdemeanor takes place after submitting the application.
Conviction is any of the following: (1) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, (2) a verdict or finding of guilt regardless of whether sentence is imposed by the court. The Bar Examiners will receive reports of any such convictions from law enforcement agencies.
Newly admitted applicants are required to immediately submit a detailed written description of new disclosures to the Law School's Admissions Office if an incident occurs AFTER an offer of admission is made and to the Office of the Assistant Dean for Academic Services if an incident occurs AFTER classes begin. Information disclosed after an applicant has been offered admission will automatically result in a re-evaluation of the applicant's file.
Failure to disclose any changes to your application or any of the Character & Fitness information noted above, may result in revocation of your admission decision, dismissal from school, revocation of any degree awarded by USF School of Law, denial of admission to the Bar, and referral to the LSAC Subcommittee on Misconduct and Irregularities in the Admission Process.
In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
Application Materials
All materials and correspondence relating to admission or your Law School application should be directed to the School of Law Office of Admissions. Once submitted, all materials become the property of the School of Law and will not be returned or copied. Please keep a copy of your application and any supporting documents for your records.
Status Checks
Upon receipt of your application, the Law School Admissions Office will provide a login and password that will allow you to check the status of your application on-line. You will be notified by email once your application is received by USF and also when your application file becomes complete. All official decision notices will be sent via email.
