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.
  • 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 or a firewall
  • add support for Ubuntu or, in general, debian-based distributions

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

Easy:

  • improve the theme engine to handle more sophisticated themes
  • build new and exciting themes for the server


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 integration applications in your area of your interest for "one-click" deployment just contact us.
