Introduction
This page contains a set of ongoing projects. When complete, these projects will create new applications or card images or tutorials or guides. Anybody is welcome to help.

The Raspberry Pi Forum has a list of Project Ideas & Links, to help people get started.

Please add links to your projects (and ones you find interesting).

Fill in each section:
 * Project Title (as a link to the project webpage or connected wiki page)
 * Project Description (including any additional links or information
 * Skill Level/Ages it is aimed at (Any/Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced)
 * Tags (Keywords related to the project, i.e. LCD Screen, Teaching, Python)
 * Author(s) or the group who are producing it (also if it is an Open/Community Project for anyone to contribute)

PiGI - A universal RPi Geiger-Mueller tube Interface
The PiGI is built as a ready-to-go drop-in module for the Raspberry Pi to transform it into a versatile geiger counter to measure/monitor radioactivity. It will generate the required high voltage the counting tubes need to operate and it will safely invert the counting impulses to a falling edge, detectable by a GPIO Pin on the PI. But it's also designed in such a universal way in order to be very hackable. Basically it can be connected to any processing system that can detect falling edges. Easy to Advanced geiger, counter, radiation, monitoring Apollo-NG Mobile Hackerspace Prototype finished / Active development - Waiting for community feedback to start crowdfunding

BerryTerminal
BerryTerminal is a project to turn the Raspberry Pi into an affordable thin-client. It allows the user to login to a central Edubuntu or other LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) server, and run all applications on the central server.
 * vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #aaa;" |

Advantages of using a central server include:

Any Thin client, terminal, Edubuntu, LTSP Floris Bos - Open Project First beta released
 * Greatly simplifies management.
 * Applications only need to be installed to the central server, and are then available on all Raspberry terminals.
 * Only need to backup the central server, instead of the individual Raspberries.
 * Because the applications run on the central server, they are not affected by the resource limitations Raspberries have, allowing users to run applications like LibreOffice.

Arr (Audio relay raspi)
The idea is to create a wireless speaker. Being able to get audio from smartphones or computers. Protocols like DLNA, Airplay and A2DP could be supported. An advanced option could be to use pulse audio libraries from linux to synchronize music on multiple raspis. The speakers attached to the raspberry pi could be a commercial ones or your HiFi but we are also thinking about some DIY solutions. For instance one could install the raspi and the speakers on the ceiling of multiple rooms. Any DLNA, Airplay, Pulse, Audio, Music, Speaker, HiFi Jordi - Open Project In-Progress

WiringPi
WiringPi is a library by Gordon Henderson which seeks to bring easy GPIO access in both shared-memory and /sys/class/gpio modes to the Pi. The WiringPi project seeks to wrap this library for a variety of languages, creating a standardised way of working with the Raspberry Pi hardware.
 * vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #aaa;" |

WiringPi currently works with C, Ruby, Python and Perl.
