It would be nice, and very useful, to design a good distributed/network
filesystem -- something like AFS, but freely available -- on Linux and
other platforms. This is something that I've been looking for info on
for a while, but haven't found much on. (Though I've been busy busy, so
I haven't looked very hard, just over a several-week period. :)

One point that I need to make about RFCs is that, for a protocol to
become standards-track, there is a process that needs to be followed.
Part of this is that there need to be multiple interoperating clients &
servers.
