[Gluster-users] [Gluster-devel] GSOC-2014 and the Gluster community

[Kaushal M]

It could be a new feature request. It should be solid enough for a
developer to get behind it and offer to mentor the project (GSOC
requires this). Have a look at the trello board I linked in the first
mail. If you have an idea not already there, propose it on the mailing
list and start a discussion in the community.
