Description
Addon Server: Create a new and shiny one
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.
There are no submitted student proposals for this idea
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).
