Boxes: More Spice Features
Short Description
GNOME Boxes is an application used to access virtual and remote systems, which targets typical desktop users. This proposal is about successfully fixing/implementing the list of bugs/features related to remote accessing virtual machines through SPICE.
The project will involve implementing important features, like shared folders, sharing wifi-geolocation, allowing SPICE connections to be discoverable on the network and using SSH to connect to a SPICE display.
