| Help me choose a goal for the month of December. The last poll showed 
 | |
| a lot of interest in using the git-annex assistant with phones, etc.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Background: git-annex uses symbolic links in its repositories. This makes it
 | |
| hard to use with filesystems, such as FAT, that do not support symbolic links.
 | |
| FAT filesystems are the main storage available on some Android devices that
 | |
| have a micro-SD card. Other, newer Android devices don't have a SD card and so
 | |
| avoid this problem.
 | |
| 
 | |
| I can either work on the idea described in
 | |
| [[design/assistant/desymlink]], which could solve the symlink problem and
 | |
| also could lead to a nicer workflow to editing files that are stored in
 | |
| git-annex.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Or, I can work on [[Android_porting|design/assistant/android]], and try to
 | |
| get the assistant working on Android's built-in storage.
 | |
| 
 | |
| [[!poll open=no 81 "solve the symlink problem first" 17 "port to Android first" 1 "other"]]
