Hi,
Here is my draft proposal for the social media integration project. Please give your feedbacks and recommendations so that I can improve on the quality.
I have also share a draft on the Google Summer of Code website.


PROJECT INFORMATION
The project that spark my interest is Social Media Integration into CiviCRM. This is because the project requirements suit my skill sets. Also I have had some hands-on in that regards.

PROJECT SUMMARY
CiviCRM provides a way for non-profits to engage their constituents through multiple media – email, phone, walk-lists, etc. Its support for social media is currently quite limited. Possible projects to improve it include:
Integrate with social media logins (likely best to start with Facebook, then Twitter and Instagram) for quick and easy petition signing, event registration, etc. and to get authorized access to petition-signers' social graphs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_login)
Pull in contacts from social media & match to CiviCRM contacts based on available information
Import into CiviCRM data about who is re-tweeting, sharing, writing on your wall
Establish ways to determine highly active users based on their social media activity
Add social media feed dashlet to see 'what's going on right now'
Add ability to automatically publish/ tweet about events, certain types of activities, possibly progress towards fundraising goals

PROJECT DETAILS
Looking at the scope of the project, and given that some work has already been done in this respect, I intend to familiarize myself with the current state of the project while working with mentors and other community activist to scope out what I should accomplish by the end of summer of code.  My interest particularly will be build a service that can gather all the contacts details from all the socials services (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and feed them into civicrm, matching them with already available information. This service will be extended to import into CiviCRM data about who is re-tweeting, sharing, writing on your wall, establish ways to determine highly active users based on their social media activity.
Key Deliverables
