Here's a sample of ideas for the 2009 GSOC for new Amahi:projects
'''=Hard:'''=* add Add support for UPnP control of home routers from within the setup pages, e.g. to easily or and dynamically control settings like DHCP server enable/disable, port forwarding, etc.* enhance 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 phone, iPhone, etc.)* build ANdroid Build Android or iPhone interface to control home server* integrate Integrate one of the more complex applications, such as ** MythTV or a firewallback-end* add support for Ubuntu * FUPPES UPnP server (or in general debian-based distributions '''Medium:'''other UPnP/DLNA server, eg. uShare, mediatomb)* enhance the theme engine to handle mainstream templates directly or with minimal configuration * firewall (eShorewall, moonwall, ..g. drupal, wordpress, or others)** Asterisk** OpenPBX'''Easy* Integration of LDAP as a back-end management system* Feature development (examples):'''* integrated firewall* Easily change domain/DHCP settings managed by Amahi** Use external and internal domain (internet/parental controls 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 the platformdashboard* improve the theme engine * Ability to handle more sophisticated themesadd/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.
To get started For other ideas, review our page on how to [[Contribute]]. Then explore our [http://forums.amahi.org/viewforum.php?f=15 suggestions forum] and our new [http://bugs.amahi.org/ bug tracker] (features suggested). From a more general perspective, Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in pre-packaging applications for "one-click" deployment just contact us with your areas of interest and we can suggest some specific applications to investigate (or suggest your own.) Of course there are other ideas. == Reference ==
