New project ideas

Here's a sample of ideas for the 2009 GSOC for Amahi:

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
• 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.

For other ideas, review our page on how to Contribute. Then explore our suggestions forum and our new bug tracker (features suggested).

Amahi is a platform that will support the deployment of other open source applications. If you are interested in the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us with suggestions.
