hi Stefan, Off course we can develop this feature as open source software.
Not sure whether GSoC would be a good route, because as far as I know GSoC projects will be completed by coming October. Please let me know of any other possible way we can work together (i.e. organizational approach). Basically myself a System Integrator and have very little knowledge of coding, but I have worked with different Virtualization technologies and have always found there are challenges/difficulties which the administrator faces for their day to day activities. I believe QEMU/KVM along with oVirt can address these challenges and have the great potential to become a frontrunner in virtualization/VDI front. Looking forward for you reply.
