14 ## <a name="Pending Projects"></a> Pending Projects
16 The following are items known to be in progress, and, where available, a point of contact.
18 - [[DisconnectedOperation]] provides the ability to use AFS while not connected to a network.
20 - [[NestedGroups]] allows PTS groups to have other groups as members. Waiting for [[OpenAFS]] port.
22 - [[FreeBSDPort]] -- Server ported. No cache manager support yet available.
24 - [[HPUX11Port|Main/HP-UP11Port]] -- Missing RX code reconstructed. Waiting on kernel header from HP. Contact [[DerrickBrashear]].
26 - [[NetBSDPort]] -- No timeline available.
28 - [[OpenBSDPort]] -- In progress. No cache manager support yet available.
30 - [[AutoConf]] with automake too. In progress. Contact [[DerrickBrashear]].
32 - [[DynamicRoot]] (/afs) support utilizing AFSDB DNS resource records is available for all UNIX ports. Windows includes similar [[FreelanceClient]] support.
34 - [[AtSysConfig]] allows @sys expansion from a list. Substantially complete. Contact [[TedMcCabe]].
36 ## <a name="Proposed Projects"></a> Proposed Projects
38 The following are items which have been proposed, but which are not yet in progress. A point of contact is included where appropriate.
40 - [[BetterDocumentation]] -- Contact [[EstherFilderman]].
44 - [[KerberosV]] -- Support Kerberos version 5 and additional encryption type support. Contact [[JeffreyHutzelman]]
46 - [[LargeFiles]] -- Support for files over 2GB. The concensus seems to be that beyond supporting big files, large volumes already work fine.
48 - [[MultipleClones]] provides support for more than one backup and read-only volume for a single read/write.
50 - [[SelectableUbikTieBreaker]] -- proposes to change lowest IP metric to something administrator-selectable.
52 - [[VolumeDumpEditor]] -- Need tool to allow editing volume dumps.
54 - [[WindowsIFS]] -- Implement AFS as a Windows installable file system instead of as a virtual SMB server.
56 - [[BetterServerPreferences]] allow selectable continuous or on-demand server preferences in clients based on available information about Rx connection round trip times instead of classful networking approach currently used. Contact [[DerrickBrashear]]. _Do this for vldb servers too, or is that a separate project? [[TedAnderson]]_
58 - [[NFSTranslatorServer]] -- Create an AFS/NFS translator for [[OpenAFS]] because there were licensing issues with the code in the IBM/Transarc product. A shell of one for Solaris only is in the source tree but needs more work before it will be useful. Contact [[DerrickBrashear]]. Another approach is a user-mode implementation. Contact [[JeffreyHutzelman]].
60 - [[PartitionUUID]] -- Create partition UUIDs such that the vldb can be rapdily updated if a disk is moved from one machine to another. Contact [[DerrickBrashear]].
62 - [[ByteRangeLocks]] would improve support for applications that use them especially those on Windows platforms.
