+
+### Suitable for GSoC: Improve logging in Log view.
+
+Add a search for strings and include color highlighting for different log types.
+
+### Suitable for GSoC: Review and improve the right-to-left layouts.
+
+Improve User Experience for rigth-to-left languages like Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew.
+
+### Suitable for GSoC: Improve accessibility.
+
+Review accessibility and fix missing content descriptions
+
+### Suitable for GSoC: Research on GPS spoofing.
+
+* Research and document mechanisms based on other open source location spoofing apps
+* Implement a prototype location provider that is capable to spoof the real location of a user
+* Research, document and implement prototypically the communication/interaction between the location provider and the VPN
+(Location provider shall be used if VPN is up and the corresponding setting was enenabled in Bitmask) 
+
+### Dynamic OpenVPN configuration
+
+Currently the Android app chooses which VPN gateway to connect to based on the nearest timezones by time offset and establishes a configuration for connecting to it by a biased selection of options (ports, protocols, etc) from the set declared by the provider through the API. For cases where a gateway is unavailable or a network is restricting traffic that our configuration matches (e.g. UDP out to port 443), being able to attempt different configurations or gateways would help finding a configuration that worked.

+
+### Ensure OpenVPN fails closed
+
+For enhanced security, we would like the VPN on Android to have the option of blocking all network traffic if the VPN dies or when it has not yet established a connection. Network traffic would be restored when the user manually turns off the VPN or the VPN connection is restored.
+
+We've implemented the blocking VPN as a solution for non-rooted devices and we support Android's (since A. Oreo / A. 8)  Blocking-VPN System setting. But the blocking VPN option does not play well with the setup of shapeshifter-dispatcher yet: shapeshifter-dispatcher needs to connect before OpenVPN, but Android blocks traffic until OpenVPN is up. Solutions for that problem needs to be investigated. Also, for pre-Andoid 8 *rooted* devices we could implement an iptables-based solution.

+## Improved UX
+
+There are several areas where the user experience could be improved, particulary where it comes to our attempts to block unencrypted traffic.

-### Customization and branding for selected VPN providers.
-
-Some providers might want to customize the look and feel of the android app, so that they can publish an application that is pre-configured to connect to their gateways. In order to do this, we need to create a build setup that allows customiziation for different providers. From the current application, the provider selection and onboarding steps also need to be removed. An specific donation option would also be needed.

-### Dynamic OpenVPN configuration
-
-Currently the Android app chooses which VPN gateway to connect to based on the least difference of timezones and establishes a configuration for connecting to it by a biased selection of options (port, proto, etc) from the set declared by the provider through the API.  For cases where a gateway is unavailable or a network is restricting traffic that our configuration matches (e.g. UDP out to port 443), being able to attempt different configurations or gateways would help finding a configuration that worked.
