I began to make some thoughts about that; please comment. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?1619 -- designing and writing libchannel, a library for streams This should be fine to put up as a project. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5469 -- Rewrite pfinet The libchannel project should be done before, or at least in parallel, I'd say. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5470 -- Implement pfinet6 The ``rewrite pfinet'' project should be done before (and libchannel transitively), or at least in parallel, I'd say. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5485 -- Design and implement a sound system Both libchannel and the device driver update should be done before, or at least in parallel, I'd say. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5486 -- Andrew File System (AFS) This should be fine to put up as a project. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5487 -- cthreads -> pthreads How much is actually left to be done? Consider that the GSoC is about writing code, not about debugging. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5488 -- Update the device driver glue code in GNU Mach Shall we publish that one as a project? http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5489 -- GNU Mach's IPC / VM system This is most probably too complex for a GSoC project. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5497 -- nfs and nfsd Manuel Menal was working on that during the 2006 GSoC, but didn't get it to an end. His code is still available in the `mmenal-soc2006-nfs-branch' branch. Someone would have to check how much work there is left to be done, to decide if we can put it up as a project again. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5499 -- Logical Volume Manager (LVM) This should be fine to put up as a project. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5503 -- extended attributes How much is actually left to be done? Consider that a patch to add support for reading and writing of extended attributes is already available in <http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?5126>. http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?6231 -- Implement support for futexes Is this a suitable project? http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?6584 -- Improve Xen support Is this a suitable project? http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?6612 -- Overriding the system's default servers Is this a suitable project? Further suggestions are of course still welcome! Regards, Thomas
