I'd be happy to mentor someone.

I went over the list of our project ideas, and the ones I'd like to
see tackled the most are:

* 
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/virtualization.html

I have a unprivileged-subhurds prototype that "just" needs finishing.

* 
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/secure_chroot.html

I have factored out the proxying-bits from fakeroot so that it can be
shared.  The most simple chrooting translator is the identity
translator, which proxies RPCs without really modifying them.
Combining the identity translator with settrans --chroot gives us
chroot(8).  With a little more work, I believe that can be used to
implement chroot(2).  Whether or not that is secure remains to be
seen, maybe that is even an ill-conceived goal.

* 
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/package_manager.html

This talks about replacing Guix symlink-tree with a specialized
translator.

* https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/xattr.html

That would shut the Linux ext2 developers up...

Hello,

Any ideas/mentors for the summer of code?

Reply-To: summer-of-c...@gnu.org

Hi everyone!

Google is accepting applications for the next Summer of Code and as
usual we are going to apply for it.

We should start thinking about a list of ideas for the next Summer of
Code and potential mentors.

This is the list of ideas we had last year:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2015.html

Is there anything left undone that can be reused this year?

Please start sending ideas to add to the page and link them to the
potential mentors that can help with it.

Please send the html snippet for the ideas (look at the html for the
previous year to get an idea), so that it can be embedded in the page as
it is.

Regards,
Giuseppe

Now, it we had this sort of thing:
  yield -a for yield to all traffic
  yield -t for yield to trucks
  yield -f for yield to people walking (yield foot)
  yield -d t*  for yield on days starting with t
...you'd have a lot of dead people at intersections, and traffic jams you
wouldn't believe...
