Re: GSoC 2008 - Mentors Wanted!

["Imran M Yousuf" <imyousuf@gmail.com>]

I would like to suggest 2 projects that I want to work as a developer
(and/or mentor):

1. GIT SCM Plugin for NetBeans (GPLv2 with CPE, same as NetBeans)
The aim of the plugin is to integrate GIT with NetBeans using JNI so
that any change in the implementation of GIT does not effect the SCM
plugins way of work.
Language: Java
Goal: Make GIT available from IDE for NetBeans users and use GIT using
Java Native Interfaces

2. distributed versioned web system backup and restoration framework
(GPLv2 with CPE, same as NetBeans)
[I am not sure whether this one is even qualifies or not as a GIT
Community Project]
Language: Java, NetBeans RCP
Goal: Develop a framework which can backup and restore data from
different components of web application. For example, database, ldap,
log, images, files (PHP, JSP, PY, HTML, JS, CSS etc.). Additionally
allow edit and propagation of configuration in distributed nature,
system restart, data restore. Also integrate backup and repo maintain
to Amazon S3.

I would be grateful if others would express their opinion about them.

Thank you and best regards,

Imran
