This is a sort of code think tank. I put here all the code ideas – improvement that I haven’t time to do but wish I could. One day I might code them, of course if if you are interested by one of those ideas, I will be happy to discuss it with you.
RSS aggregator – re-seeder
Create a serveur side aggregator that fetch a list of rss feed and reseed them as aggregated feed. Gregarius seems a strong base to start but many many feature are missing. The most important are:
- Duplicate removal: when a new is reseed in multiple feed, it should be removed, or better an importance counter can be incremented
- Smart feed based on keyword/regexp should be implemented
- Tag browsing
- Post clustering to group near duplicate

Windows HIDS
One security issue with high level interface such as the Windows GUI is that you are completely unaware of what is going on at the network level. Therefore the idea is to use the Windows Filtering Platform to gather low level information useful to know how the computer interact with the network. Here is a list of some information that appears usefull:
- Which process send data to the network
- Does the data sent are encrypted ?
- Alert when a station join or leave the network (specially when dealing with a wifi network)
- Who is your dhcp ?
- Which computer share are available on network (windows, itune, osx)
Ideally the application will be displayed as a red/green dot on the status bar.
