= Work-in-Progress: 2011 =
While Google has not announced plans for Google Summer of Code 2011, here are some initial ideas.

    * Filesystems: general improvements
        * ReiserFS: write support
        * Ext: Ext4 features
        * BTRFS, UFS2, ZFS: Read (& Write) support

    Haiku has great support for its own filesystem, but most others are only available read-only, or not at all. It is way better for interoperability with other systems to be able to read and write to these disks. 

    * USB 3.0 support
        * XHCI implementation
        Haiku has already some support for UHCI, OHCI and EHCI.
        
        Requirements: acquiring a PCI-e USB 3.0 board (30$).

    * USB Video (UVC)
        This driver will support higher end webcams and other devices. This should be designed with portability to other OSes, which encourages the re-use of coding efforts for both Haiku and non-Haiku operating systems. 
        
        Requirements: owning an UVC webcam.

    * AV/1394 support
    
    Our Firewire stack supports DV receiving, but not controlling the A/V device (ie play/stop). This requires to modify the Firewire stack for FCP frame support. See AV/C Digital Interface Command Set General Specification for reference.
    
        Skill set: kernel development, API design, general C/C++, userland development
    
        Requirements: a DV camera, a machine with a Firewire port. 

    * [http://buildbot.net BuildBot]

    Currently Haiku uses an in-house continuous integration solution [http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/haikubuildomatic/repository/show/branches/rewrite2 Haiku Build-O-Matic].  Implementing a BuildBot would provide numerous features over Build-O-Matic. Some basic requirements would be to supporting building the various aspects of Haiku from source on numerous platforms (FreeBSD, linux based OS's, Haiku, ...,) [http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku/ATTN-Python-Developers-opportunities-for-contributing related thread] 

        Requirements: Python
