Nomad’s project ideas for the students participating in Google Summer of Code 2020
Nomad has been steadily improving it’s presence over the past year. What’s notably missing is a good workflow for delivering News about the latest developments, or in other words a Website. We would like to be able to keep a blog on the website. It'd be aligned with the project goals to use Haunt static site generator.
Add addition protocol support for GNUNet and IPFS
Nomad uses GNU guile scheme as it’s extension language. And GUIX is a functional package manager that also uses GNU guile. Nomad could use GUIX as a scheme library to manage user extensions. The extensions could be installed into a GUIX profile under Nomad’s user directory. something like $HOME/.nomad.d/guix
Because Nomad has access to full graphical buffers. Meta data about package could be presented as graphical buffers. Including buffers to search for extensions, installing and removing extensions.
If written correctly it could also be used to manage GUIX user profiles and the GUIX system it’s self.
In emacs graphical windows are called frames. And addition frame views are called windows. Nomad current only supports one window view. It would be nice if used Emacsy window support to split window views. Allowing multiple buffers to be viewed in the same frame.
