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)
  • firewall (Shorewall, moonwall, ...)
  • Asterisk
• integration of LDAP as a back-end management system

Medium:

• 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 review our page on how to Contribute. Then explore our suggestions forum and our new 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 the integration of applications in your area of interest, just contact us.
