The google summer of code is almost underway and already has a lot of good ideas but I was wondering if any of my fellow zope users would have any interest in the following area: I don't have the skills but I think it would be cool if some student ported Zope to utilize features of the google file system or libferris. Libferris is a virtual file system that mounts just about everything including postgres, xml and OpenOffice docs. If zope ran on the gfs (primarily adding business logic, security and publishing) it would give a boost to the value of any zope based company. Also, I think it would be fun to run map/reduce on my stored objects! A zope that ran on libferris and offered secure publishing of libferris resources would just be cool. If anybody else thinks this would be useful I will jon the gsoc user list, (even though I'm not a student and I'm not experienced enough with zope to be a mentor) and do my best to make this happen.
