After the agonizing wait, Google finally released it’s list of accepted projects for Google Summer of Code 2012 today, and my proposal for KDE, Implementing hard disk health monitoring and improving ISO file management features in KDE, has been accepted ! My mentor for this project is Alex Fiestas.
Looking forward to a very exciting summer coding for KDE !

That said, I’ve been working on a whole lot of things since my last post (yes, the inaugural and only post), including an automatic proxy changer for use in the BITS Goa campus, and a [WIP] python wrapper for libatasmart. Have a look : http://github.com/anantkamath .
Any chance, you might also support Active Hard Drive Protection? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_hard-drive_protection also known as HDAPS? http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=1 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS
Sounds like a good idea (although it’s not a SMART feature) . I’ve an Ideapad lying around at home, will try out APS/HDAPS on it first.
