My Plan 9/Inferno summer of code ideas (otherwise known as projects I wish I had more time for) - projects should take no longer than 5 weeks to complete (including ramp up, debug, and packaging) -- conservatively projects should be completable in 3 weeks by experienced P9/Inferno developers and 2 weeks by folks unfamiliar with p9/inferno development environments.

• mount.9P helper program for v9fs including packaging for debian and fedora -
  
• hueristic for determining transport type
  
• DNS support for resolving hostname <->ip address
• ssh-based tunneling support (will require server work as well)
• man pages
• debian packaging
• rpm packaging
• (stretch) authentication support (w/p9p)
• (stretch) authentication support (w/o p9p)
• (stretch) integration with idmap solution

• since this is relatively straightforward it will really need to be "super" version including support for ssh tunneling, authentication, etc.
• idmap solution for v9fs - maps local uids/gids/error-codes to strings
• userspace daemon to provide mapping
• hooks in v9fs to use mapping
• (stretch) synthetic file server approach to update mappings
• OLPC Inferno Environment
• fontfs - on-demand ttf solution
• metafs - abstract metadata from underlying file system
• (stretch) Integrate OLPC translation solution for Inferno

• (stretch) OLPC oriented GUI toolkit, window manager, and toolbar
• (stretch) Inferno approach to collaboration using file systems
  
• Source Control Management based on Venti backend
• single branch version tracking with associated log file
• add new files/directories
• commit changes
• checkout specific version #
  
• (stretch) support multiple branches
• (stretch) support repository sync (push/pull)
• (stretch) support three-way merge
  
• wrapper for p9p vbackup to make it more user friendly
• wrapper which tracks venti scores based on volume being backed up
• GUI admin tool
  
• which sets up venti in partition(s) or with files
  
• which assists in configuring backup intervals and volumes
  
• (stretch) time-traveler like GUI for navigating/searching backups
• (stretch) support for pruning and/or merging snapshots
  
• GSoCFS for managing future community involvement with GSoC
• synethtic file system and web interface
• posting project ideas
• voting for projects
• registering student interest in projects
• project milestone tracking
  
• project blogs and wikis
• post-summer project success metrics (subjective and objective)
• (stretch) syndication points for community monitoring
• (stretch) potential integration with SCM
• (stretch) potential integration with some form of chat
• (stretch) potential integration with name space sharing
