Hi Stefano,
I have added it to the wiki page:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Internships/ProjectIdeas/VsockSiblingCommunication

I noticed that the project idea describes in words but never gives
concrete details about what sibling VM communication is and how it
should work. For someone who has never heard of AF_VSOCK or know how
addressing works, I think it would help to have more detail: does the
vhost-user-vsock program need new command-line arguments that define
sibling VMs, does a { .svm_cid = 2, .svm_port = 1234 } address usually
talk to a guest but the TO_HOST flag changes the meaning and you wish
to exploit that, etc? I'm not suggesting making the description much
longer, but instead tweaking it with more concrete details/keywords so
someone can research the idea and understand what the tasks will be.

Stefan
