Here's a sample of ideas for new Amahi projects

Hard

  • Add support for UPnP control of home routers from within the setup pages, e.g. to easily and dynamically control settings like DHCP server enable/disable, port forwarding, etc.
  • Add support for Ubuntu or, in general, debian-based distributions
  • Add support for an Android based distribution
  • Enhance REST API to support management from other interfaces (eg. Android, iPhone)
  • Build Android or iPhone interface to control home server
  • Integrate one of the more complex applications, such as
    • MythTV back-end
    • FUPPES UPnP server (or other UPnP/DLNA server, eg. uShare, mediatomb)
    • firewall (Shorewall, moonwall, ...)
    • Asterisk
    • OpenPBX
  • Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system
  • Feature development (examples):
    • Easily change domain/DHCP settings managed by Amahi
    • Use external and internal domain (internet/intranet)
    • Change share servers to use a plugin system to allow each share to select which server they use
    • Browseable selection of files and paths in dashboard
    • Ability to add/mount disks via browser interface
    • Seamlessly add drives as an option for share points

Medium

  • Integrate a mail server
  • Enhance the theme engine to handle mainstream templates directly or with minimal configuration (e.g. Drupal, Wordpress, or others)
  • Replace BIND as DNS server by a more dynamic, reconfigurable DNS server
  • Build an integrated contact manager application

Easy

  • Improve the theme engine to handle more sophisticated themes
  • For the more design-oriented, build new and exciting themes

Plus, of course we are open to suggestions. Open a dialog. We're happy to discuss and determine a suitable project.
