Dear OpenAFS Developers,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Ali Jafar, and I am currently
exploring ways to contribute to OpenAFS. Given my background in shell
scripting and system customization, I am particularly interested in
improving the usability of OpenAFS=E2=80=99s command-line tools by implemen=
ting
comprehensive Bash and Zsh completion.
I have drafted a project proposal focused on enhancing command-line
completion for OpenAFS commands. This would streamline administration
tasks, reduce errors, and improve user experience by providing dynamic
autocompletion as new options and subcommands are introduced. The goal is
to integrate completion generation in a way that minimizes maintenance
overhead, ensuring it evolves alongside OpenAFS=E2=80=99s CLI changes.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the approach, feasibility, and
any key areas that might need refinement. Given your expertise with OpenAFS
internals, I would value any insights on improving compatibility, handling
edge cases, or aligning better with the project's long-term goals.
You can review my proposal here: Proposal Link

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions.
*Best regards,*
Ali Jafar
