Ideas

What could a smart student do in one summer, if they didn't need to worry about getting a summer job to pay the bills?

  • Dealing with NAT, ideally making it as easy to ignore as possible (taking advantage of upnp-igd and Zeroconf NAT-PMP)
  • Opportinistic grid membership:
    • Dynamic share migration to maintain file health
    • use Zeroconf or similar so nodes can find each other on a local network to enable quick local share migration
  • Deal with unreliable nodes and connections in general, getting away from allmydata's assumption that the grid is a big collection of reliable machines in a colo under a single administrative jurisdiction

Mentors

Who is willing to spend about five hours a week (according to Google) helping a student figure out how to do it right?
