ProteanOS currently provides software for wired and wireless +networking (including access points), network routing, firewalls, servers, +digital signage, and audio playback and recording. Work is beginning to support +kiosk systems, Web applications, and point of sale systems (see some of the +other VALS SOC projects with ProteanOS). + +Support for other embedded applications in ProteanOS is welcome. A student may +propose a new application for ProteanOS and contribute support for it. This +includes researching software packages that provide an application, doing +dependency analysis to determine which additional packages are required (and +whether it's possible and feasible to prepare those packages for ProteanOS), and +preparing all the needed packages. + + * Mentor: Patrick "P.
