@ -8,7 +8,10 @@ What could a smart student do in one summer, if they didn't need to worry about
* Shell friendly errors. When cli (the shell command tool) is failing, it would be good, for shell users, to have a nicer output in text format, not html/css. The latter could be kept for webgui errors only.
* '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 pratical 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 have many machines and alternate use between them, like a notebook, a home desktop and an office desktop, for instance.
* sshfs working properly in linux boxes. Yeah, my Fedora 9 isn't ok with trunk revision, it keep showing me the same first level directories in any level :)
* Help with the C client library [libtahoeclient_webapi](http://allmydata.org/trac/libtahoeclient_webapi)
* Make the [Windows client](http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client) use only free open-source software
# Mentors
Who is willing to spend about five hours a week (according to Google) helping a student figure out how to do it right?
