Hey, Alex,
I was reviewing the Summer of Code thread, below. I'd like to make sure
this info gets captured and kept better up to date in JIRA. Can I get
some projects created? Namely:
1) Directory DNS (DIRDNS)
2) Directory DHCP (DIRDHCP)
The rest of the thread seems to fall pretty well into existing projects.

Hi,
Regarding the Summer of Code, I'll add a few points on ApacheDS
projects and repeat what Trustin noted, for completeness.
Kudos to you Enrique for getting to this. I was just about to try to
summarize the candidate projects as promised to Mary in an email.
Thanks! Let me put some links to the repository where people can
actually start looking at the code to get some traction. Please look in
line for links to svn ...
1) DHCP - DHCP codecs work, but without broadcast support in MINA
and, fundamentally, in NIO, there isn't much to be done here until
NIO2 in (hopefully) JDK 1.6. I stopped here, so the handler workflow
isn't totally complete, but should be straight-forward once MINA/NIO
supports broadcast. I consider this code dead until then and not a
worthwhile project.

No common code yet!
2) DNS - DNS codecs and workflow are in good shape. As Trustin
mentioned, the handlers need to get wired into the ApacheDS backing
store. Right now I have the handler stubbed out to simply echo the
DNS query as the response, but it is actually decoding and encoding.
Some time ago Alex added the DNS schema to the ApacheDS backend, so
that should be ready to go. This is seriously only a couple days
work, but we put it on hold for a number of other initiatives and lack
of demand. What's missing, but probably not worth a summer of work,
are the myriad of RFC's that add record types. I coded in the most
widely used ones, the ones supported by the schema, such as A and MX,
but there are quite a few more.

No common code yet!
3) Kerberos - Kerberos is also mostly working, and tested for interop
with Windows and Linux. The major feature missing from RFC 1510 is
cross realm authentication, aka trust relationships. I have this on
my plate already, and it is mostly backend work, figuring out now how
I want to lay this out in the DIT. From more recent clarifications
documents, we are missing more modern encryption types, but these look
to be basic assembly based on crypto in the JDK or Bouncy Castle.
Protocol Provider (MINA):
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/protocol-providers/kerberos/
Shared (Common Code):
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/shared/kerberos/?rev=190518
4) NTP - NTP is pretty much done. It really just needs to be wired
into the ApacheDS server at some point. One possible project here is
NTP authentication. I didn't do any work on that, but the field is
supported by the codecs. NTP has no configuration, so part of tying
it into ApacheDS would be to at least make the port configurable.
