The initial versions of the commands will establish independent connections to a cluster node (specified by a Gluster URL scheme). Then I think I could evolve the code to implement the shell idea that was in the design doc. Then, if I have time left, I could try to tackle the daemon that would keep connections open (whether this would be a client side or a server side proxy is yet to be determined). I'm leaving that for the end since that would require the most design and I don't want to end up going down a rabbit hole at this point trying to fight DBUS, for example. I have been reading through the document posted earlier to get a sense of the overall direction the project should move in. As for the language, I already have functioning code in C and that's a requirement of my project, so that's what I'm moving forward with.
