I have to try that, too. + +* **Make proxy nodes go away when the proxied translator goes away** + -- This should be done by listening to notifications on the ports to + the proxied translators. A similar functionality is already + implemented in `unionmount`, but it was decided that `nsmux` should + use standard notification interfaces, as opposed to the custom + demuxer and handler implemented in `unionmount`. + +* **Don't attach anonymous translators** -- There is no special point + in attaching anonymous (formerly known as dynamic) translators to + specific nodes. Keeping them orphan should simplify the design of + `nsmux` by eliminating the need for shadow nodes, whose main purpose + was to serve as virtual locations to attach translators to. + +* **Setup a list of nodes proxying static translators** -- This list + is needed when for the filter, which should also be able to go down + the static translator stack, not only the stack of anonymous + translators. + +* **Cleanup `nsmux`** -- When I was writing `nsmux` my acquaintance + with good coding and code formatting practices was very basic, which + resulted in messy and sometimes ugly code. + +* **Implement recursive propagation of translators down directories** + -- This task was planned long ago and is fascinating, but I won't be + working on it in the near future. + +--- # Google Summer of Code: 2009 Project -- cgit v1.2.3
