Hello Marcio,

We have remote administration working for the command line tools (like 
virsh), but virt-manager still has a few problems, so any help you can 
give there would be welcome.

Some other features off the top of my head:

  - Fleshing out all the QEMU & KVM features, so that QEMU & KVM support 
is as good as Xen support.  See all the 'x' squares on this page: 
http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html

  - Help with really getting virt-manager to work remotely.  Allow 
drag-and-drop in virt-manager to migrate domains between hypervisors.

  - Help porting and packaging for other systems (Debian, Gentoo, *BSD, 
Solaris, Windows, ... -- some of these have porting projects already, so 
your time is best spent joining and working with existing projects)

  - More static analysis of code paths, particularly memory 
allocation/deallocation and error handling, where in both cases there 
are lots of little-used paths with problems 
(http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/cil-analysis-of-libvirt/)

  - Help Shuveb Hussain with OpenVZ work

  - VMWare

  - I don't know how good the Portuguese translation of the libvirt / 
virt-manager strings is -- maybe it could do with checking.

Rich.
