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.
