I'm really interested in implement this proposal:

*Extension of the GTK+ frontends

There are a couple of GTK+ frontends for Samba4 (see SambaGtk). These are
very limited at the moment but you could work on expanding them and further
integrating them with GNOME. Language: C or Python

     * Difficulty: Easy
     * Language(s): Python, perhaps C
     * Possible mentors: JelmerVernooij*

But, I'll be more happy if this interface could be implemented using EFL and
no GTK+.
Why?
EFL has less deps than GTK or QT and the graphic result is better (both in
efficience and beauty).
I'd rather see a continuation of the existing work using a commonly used library rather than starting a new project using a completely different UI toolkit. There is quite a bit of existing work which I'd rather not throw out.

Cheers,

Jelmer
