'''Amahi has been accepted for GSoC 2017!'''
See the ideas below for GSoC 2017!
= About Amahi=
We're looking for students with skills in these areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, python, PHP, as well as next generation technologies, like Go (we use it for streaming to our mobile apps), [https://nodejs.org/ Node.js], [https://github.com/amahi/spdy HTTP/2], javascript frameworks for user interaction, visualization or server services, etc.
Amahi started of a need to keep a personal/home cloud server, keep all my family's photos, videos, documents, and generally any data. It expanded into running applications, mostly web apps, from anything to doing backups to automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.
= Introduce yourself, interact with the community =
First, please [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczksMOYpCLH5OdRIvF81WpAgoCXqmSXO7JQG1M9RDHdHystQ1FAIpQLSdATld5a5I0_ImhMn4LqV5kUChP-oTeNjQSqEMDCVdMjNeKLg/viewform?usp=sf_link send_form introduce yourself with this form], so that we know your background and interests.
If you have questions about Amahi or just want to interact, you can contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] (fairly active) or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]] (not as active). Don't forget that we are open to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Feel free to discuss or propose new ideas for projects!
We have organized the ideas in groups, depending what area of Amahi they belong in. These groups are not in any particular order. For instance if you are a front-end person who knows HTML and Javascript, the GUI/UX may well be the best fit and we'd love to hear from you!

=== [https://www.amahi.org/apps/disk-wizard Disk Wizard] ===
'''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahibut as of now it requires advanced (e.g. command line) skills. We want easy disk/partition onboarding. The DW is Also add the ability to be asked to mount USB drives as a critical part. However, itshare when they's not as stable as it should bere connected & connect external shares from for example a NAS with the plugin system using that wizard. It should detect more partition types and
'''Objective''': Stability improvements Finish implementing and especially thoroughly testing an Amahi plugin that will streamline the process by providing a UI for disk management.The plugin should detect if a new disk was added and it should provide a wizard to create partitions and format with the desired file system
'''Skills Required''': Low level system scripting
* [http://www.openmediavault.org/ OpenMediaVault] does have a nice wizard that people like
=== Amahi 11 10 ===
'''Description''': Amahi 11 10 is our what's next release.This is the time to come up with exciting features and ideas that we should put and the GSOC timeline is a perfect match!
'''Objective''': Work closely with the core team to define the features and functionality that we need to implement to get Amahi released. This project is about working on RoR and the Amahi platform core. Some of the core technology will need to be upgraded, like Rails 54, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform and use sqlite, create a native API to the platform that can be used by other apps, like mobile apps. Other ideas include beefing up security and provide support for Amahi hosting on the cloud. Features:
* fully convert the front-end to bootstrap and make sure we can install bootstrap themes and have a consistent and responsive look and behavior
