+## Binary compatibility between OSes
+
+Help the cause of OS ecumenism! FreeBSD provides [binary
+compatibility](http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu.html) with
+Linux operating systems: an add-on module to the kernel knows how to
+interpret Linux-"personality" programs, just like the base kernel can
+interpret FreeBSD-"personality" ones, and a standard component in the
+FreeBSD ports system will install a number of libraries from Fedora 10
+in /compat/linux.
+
+However, the number of people who use FreeBSD as their own OS is limited
+compared to those who use Linux or Mac OS X. Possible projects here
+include BSD binary compatibility on Linux, or porting FreeBSD's Linux
+binary compatibility to Mac OS X (which has a bunch of BSD-like parts,
+but whose core kernel is actually Mach). The latter would allow running
+Linux locker software on [MacAthena](http://macathena.mit.edu).

+## Consolidate and Update Athena documentation
+
+Athena documentation these days seems somewhat lacking and/or hard-to-find, which should not be the case. Athena is already foreign enough to incoming students, who are more likely to use their laptops than an Athena machine. Help make it easier by consolidating and updating available Athena documentation so that people know here how to use their Public folder, their Private folder, their dotfiles, and so on.

+## Zephyr Client Hints
+
+Some time ago I wrote [a spec for zephyr client hints](http://geofft.mit.edu/p/zephyr-client-hints.txt), optional extensions that zephyr clients can easily implement to add nifty stuff like typing indicators and [preventing zwgc from starting more than once per user](http://debathena.mit.edu/trac/ticket/206) and such. I got lazy before actually implementing these specs, but I believe they'd be relatively easy extensions to both zwgc and BarnOwl (in their respective extension languages, even — no changes needed to core).

+## Project Waverly
+
+[Project Waverly](http://waver.ly/) is attempting to rethink collaborative text editing. We are starting a project to do collaborative text (and other
+stuff) editing right -- clean protocol, reasonable algorithms, good web
+client, good plugins for desktop text editors, nice API, version control
+integration, etc. etc.
