Are you a GSOC student or mentor? Have questions? Contact us via IRC on [http://talk.amahi.org #amahi on irc.freenode.net] or on the amahi-devel [[mailing list]].= About Amahi=
If you are interested We're looking for students with skills in being a mentorthese areas: current technologies like RoR, ruby, we have six great mentors python, PHP, as well as of todaynext generation technologies, but like Go (we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!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.
If you are '''We're also looking for hardware projects! Creating a student, come talk to us about the ideas below Raspberry Pi-style device with great I/O that can run Amahi smoothly is a long-tem goal for possible projectsAmahi! Don't forget that these are subject to suggestions, extensions or adaptations. Even new ideas will be considered. Some of these ideas are more mature and concrete than others.''
The '''most important thing''' is Amahi started of a need to find an '''area that you enjoy''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, using a programming language that you know or are willing from anything to doing backups to learn!automatic downloaders, media managers and much more.
=List Amahi is a full and proper server made up of Project Ideas=* A Linux system based on a mainline distribution, currently Fedora, but we supported Ubuntu before as well* An [https://github.com/amahi/hda-ctl installer] to help the user bring bring Amahi up in their system* A [https://github.com/amahi/platform platform], which is a web app that the user uses to manage their server, add apps* [https://www.amahi.org/apps Apps] that are installed by using the platform* Two mobile apps to access data and apps, for [http://www.amahi.org/android Android] and [http://www.amahi.org/ios iOS].
== Platform ==At Amahi we use git (see our [https://github.com/amahi Github repo]) for our version management and the technologies we have ended up using are Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PHP, Linux system internal technologies like system services, configuration areas, web server virtualhosts, databases, DNS, etc., etc.
===Plugin System==What to do (and NOT do) first =
Let's talk about what NOT to do first, because many people automatically start badly by doing these:* do '''not''' comment randomly in github issues, e.g. introducing yourself in a GH issue, saying you would like to do something, or just "make noise"* do ''Description'not'': Make the ability ' blindly try to create build things without understanding what Amahi is and install Amahi plugins easy what it does* do '''not''' just submit a pull request or issue a bug without really knowing what you are up to* do '''not''' just come to IRC, say something and enable the creation of those plugins vanish shortly thereafter. Stay for a variety of purposes, like SMART monitoring, system stuff (network scanning, etcwhile. People come and go.) Ask your question and the two examples below stick around. Get a client that can linger for the disk wizard and the Greyhole UI, among other ideasa while.Sometimes it takes hours for some people to return
'''Objective''': Create an amahi plugin system, where PHP, PythonBUT First, NodeIntroduce yourself, and other modern webapps can be easily integrated. We can currently do this interact with some RoR enginesthe community, but the mechanism is not robust enoughso please [https://docs.

===Disk Wizard===If you are interested in being a mentor, we have a few great mentors as of today, but we're very welcoming of more ideas and more mentors!
'''Description''': Expanding See the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi but as of now it requires advanced (e[[#Mentors|mentors]] below.g. command line) skills. We want easy disk/partition onboarding.Also add the ability Looking for ideas to be asked to mount USB drives as a share when they're connected & connect external shares from for example a NAS with mentor, see the plugin system using that wizard[[#Other Ideas|other ideas]] below.
'''Objective''': Create an amahi plugin that will streamline this 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=List of Project Ideas=
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'''Skills Required''': Low level system scriptingd love to hear from you!

===Greyhole UI===Plugins are "mini apps" that live inside the Amahi platform and thus little interface need to be developed for them. They are familiar and provide easy, focused value to the user. Ideas:

===Backup app data/settings==='''Description''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi. The DW is a critical part. However, it's not as stable as it should be. It should detect more partition types and handle everything gracefully, even when it can't act upon certain configurations.
'''DescriptionObjective''': When new versions of Amahi come out, a drawback of Amahi is that it's hard to backup the settings (e.gStability improvements and especially thoroughly testing this plugin for disk/partition management. partitioning) installed applications and their user data
'''ObjectiveSkills Required''': The plugin should allow an administrator to backup any application data either on an external media or in the cloud(e.g.: Dropbox, Google Drive, etc).The restore process should check if the application is installed on the HDA and if not it should be automatically installed from the AppStore before the user data is restored.*Create an amahi plugin that will allow backup and restore of the user data for apps installed from the AppStore*Centralising app data/configs - link them to app folder instead.*"Destructive" update awareness*Ability to list, outline data directories for backups/upgrade checkLow level system scripting

==Mobile= Amahi 12 ===
Mobile '''Description''': [[Amahi 12]] is a great topic at the moment and there are a lot of opportunities here. In the Android app, definitely more than one student are suitable for the projectour next release.
===Android App Implementation==='''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 5, latest Phusion Passenger, possibly replace MySQL for the platform, 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:
'''Description''': There's huge demand for an Android application following * make platform even more modular and cleaner (at the popularity moment we still have some things that really belong in plugins but still are in controllers/views of our iOS the main app)* possibly using a new metal layer instead of passenger - especially ones that do not take a long time to reload, could be puma, i also like thin, maybe others* better initialization . Our .. like a more standard (wordpress-like) initialization wizard (initially there are no users are looking for , we need to create an application that has feature parity admin user and perhaps ask a few questions and integrate with amahi.org)* Implement sharing of folders among the existing iOS app, and even shows it up with additional features!friend servers.

'''Objective''': Configuration and installation of Amahi can be painful for some percentage of users. Many who do not know or care about Linux. We want to make the installation as smooth as possible not just for them, but for more even more regular (non-techy) users. Ubuntu has some challenges of its own to make it work without dropping the users to the command line.* Make images that enable booting from USB devices "out of the box"* Detect sub-optimal configurations of disk partitions and provide feedback to the user* Measure and analyze how users get tripped on installation and create ways to tackle these issues, bringing installation issues down===Improved VPN Security===

This app (or possibly a plugin) should display all the connected device as well as provide the ability to search by name/MAC address. For a selected device the administrator should:
*Limit access between certain time intervals
