However not all of it is currently enabled in the UI, as it is still under heavy construction. You may handle these storage types using the RESTFul Api.

There are many tasks we could use some help with, and it depends on your skills. oVirt Engine is Java based. However there are other areas such as vdsm (python), RESTFul API and SDK, UI (GWT), packaging, etc... So let us know which parts you feel you can dive in, and we'll be able to route you ;) As for Gentoo (I tried that in the past); I have a working setup on Gentoo as well. In order to add it to the portage tree, we need a herd with some people to help us. We can start creating the first ebuilds, but from my experience we'll need more help to make the opensource JBoss build on Gentoo. That said we can start working with the binary deployment and evolve from there. Doron
