Xen devel - Feb 2011 - Google Summer of Code Wiki pages - some minar gaps and corrections

Hi everybody,

I transferred most GSoC ideas from the etherpad page 
(http://openetherpad.org/VOt1BGKFDR) to the Wiki at the following 
location. There were a number of minor things:

    * I could not always tell who the mentor was from the Wiki page
      (either no name, only a colour or a shorthand)
    * A few ideas dont explain what skills are needed
    * I made some minor additions to some ideas (typically ideas that
      have to do with testing, debug, etc.)
    * I left out ideas which were not in good state
    * I left out a lot of the older XCP ideas

 From now on, progress on these will be as follows:

    * Please look through the ideas and fix them yourself
    * Or let me know what needs fixing
    * If your idea is not on the list, please work on the etherpad and
      let me know if it is ready. Otherwise it wont make it

And have a nice weekend

Lars

Thanks for the link.

Some thoughts:

	Guest RPC mechanism: jonathan.ludlam@eu.citrix.com
	- upstream QEMU seems to have "virtagent" implemented, which is a
guest RPC mechanism.
	  Any chances to re-use/collaborate?
	  see for example Subject: "[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] virtagent -
fsfreeze support"
	  and Subject: "[Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH v6 00/23] virtagent: host/guest
RPC communication agent"

	  git://repo.or.cz/qemu/mdroth.git virtagent_v6



and a new suggestion (not yet in the wiki):

	Xen block device live migration (storage migration)
	- allow moving VM from storage A to storage B without downtime.
	  Upstream QEMU seems to have some block migration support already.
