# Pending and Desired [[OpenAFS]] Projects
## Pending Projects The following are items known to be in progress, and, where available, a point of contact. - [[WindowsIFS]] -- Implement AFS as a Windows installable file system instead of as a virtual SMB server. In Progress. Contact Jeffrey Altman - [[WindowsAFSServers]] - Stabilize the AFS Servers running on Microsoft Windows. Contact Jeffrey Altman - [[DisconnectedOperation]] provides the ability to use AFS while not connected to a network. - [[FreeBSDPort]] -- Server ported. Cache manager available, not stable yet. - [[HPUX11Port|HP-UX11Port]] -- Missing RX code reconstructed. Header needed, available from HP. Available in 1.2.10. - [[NetBSDPort]] -- No timeline available. - [[OpenBSDPort]] -- In progress. Cache manager available, not stable yet. - [[AutoConf]] with automake too. In progress. Contact Derrick Brashear. - [[AmandaBackup]] -- Support for backup using [Amanda](http://www.amanda.org). In progress. Contact Mitch Collinsworth. - [[BetterDocumentation]] -- Contact Russ Allbery - [[MaemoPort]] -- Porting to the Nokia N8x0 Internet Tablet. Contact Derrick Brashear or Jason Edgecombe ## Proposed Projects The following are items which have been proposed, but which are not yet in progress. A point of contact is included where appropriate. - [[SupportIPv6]] - [[MultipleClones]] provides support for more than one backup and read-only volume for a single read/write. - Selectable Ubik Tie Breaker -- proposes to change lowest IP metric to something administrator-selectable. - [[VolumeDumpEditor]] -- Need tool to allow editing volume dumps. - [[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 Derrick Brashear. _Do this for vldb servers too, or is that a separate project? Ted Anderson_ - [[NFSTranslatorServer]] -- Create an AFS/NFS translator for [[OpenAFS]] because there were licensing issues with the code in the IBM/Transarc product. A Solaris-only version will be supported with and after 1.2.8. Another approach is a user-mode implementation. Contact Jeffrey Hutzelman. - [[PartitionUUID]] -- Create partition UUIDs such that the vldb can be rapdily updated if a disk is moved from one machine to another. Contact Derrick Brashear. - [[ByteRangeLocks]] would improve support for applications that use them especially those on Windows platforms. \* Revamping the Callback mechanism. See discussion on afs3-standardization at openafs.org mailing list. - [[AutomatedTests]] - Have buildbot automatically run unit tests on a regular basis.
