*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?*
## Improvements to Tahoe
* Dealing with NAT, ideally making it as easy to ignore as possible (taking advantage of upnp-igd and Zeroconf NAT-PMP)
* Dealing with NAT, ideally making it as easy to ignore as possible (taking advantage of upnp-igd and Zeroconf NAT-PMP).
* Opportunistic 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
* Dynamically migrate shares 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
* 'tahoe sync'. The proposed #601 bidirectional sync option would be great for using tahoe as we would with dropbox (<http://www.getdropbox.com/>). Like the latter, the user could have a daemon which keeps things in sync in pollings within a one or two seconds schedule (maybe using inotify for uploads). In practical terms an user could have many machines pointing to the same tahoe:dir, each machine mapping this resource to a local directory, and all these machines could then have their local copies in sync, via tahoe:dir. I think this is good when someone has many machines and alternates use between them, like a notebook, a home desktop and an office desktop, for instance.
* Optimize upload/download transfer speed.
* Implement storage server protocol over HTTP.
* Make the [Windows client](http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client) use only free open-source software
