=Description=
<h2>Addon Server: Create a new and shiny one</h2>
Page for the idea: [[SoC_Ideas_Addon_Server_2013]]

Wesnoth has an addon server that originally only hosted extra campaigns, but
now also hosts Multiplayer Maps, Factions, Eras and more. Also the amount of
hosted addon has increased over the years. The server itself is almost unchanged
and can use an upgrade. Performance-wise things are not bad, but it would be
nice to store additional meta-information on the server and have a better
integration for translations.

=Additional Information=

The first step for this project will be writing the specifications for the new
server and discuss them with our developers and users. Once the specifications
are done you will implement the server and update the in-game user interface.

Suggested skills: C++, the boost asio library (can be learned during the process).
