Re: [9fans] GSoC 2021 project ideas

Hello,

many many really cool ideas. Most of them get a big heart icon, but I 
don't want to repeat your ideas. So consider this one large heart for all 
of them ♥️.

My annotations are inline.

Afaik someone on grid wanted to try some voice chat stuff using mq, 
maybe. Could be helpful.

Also hellaphone might be interesting (maybe just for comparison). Afaik 
they removed the whole java stuff from android and replaced it with dis. 
They were able to do phone calls and I think they got rudimentary text 
messages working, too, but both directly on the phone using inferno.


A native 9p interface for Android might also be a nice project. Android 
supports adding new protocols like ftp or smb to its native filesystem 
pool. I don't know the details.

I also have some other project ideas like many, like a native Android 
gridchat client, but that's too specific, I think. I'll play around with 
these when I'm done studying.
