Teleporting

[Jared Bristow]

We'd really like to get a user interface for using teleporting.  I understand that teleporting itself has been broken since VirtualBox 4.1 (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9455).  The issue is 14 months old, but I am encouraged by the fact that the bug seems to have been updated recently.  Hopefully it will be fixed soon.  

In the mean time, I'd like to try and hash out an interface for doing a teleport.  I saw the comment here: http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/issues/detail?id=74 about waiting until it's implemented in the GUI.  Any idea when that might be?  It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to write a wizard that walks a person through the process.  

I did find this project that claims to have implemented teleporting: http://code.google.com/p/vboxremote/

I haven't tried that one out yet, but the phpvirtualbox web interface seems much more clean and refined than that project.  

I recently got teleporting working with VirtualBox 4.0.16, and I am familar with all the pre-requisites for using the feature.  

I'm going to plan out mock-up screens for a teleporting wizard.  Would I be able to work with you to try and produce something?  

You'd have to tell my your thoughts on trying to implement this for VB 4.0 (phpvb 4.0-7) first (since it can actually be tested/used there) and then porting it to the new versions versus writing it in to 4.2 directly.  We obviously wouldn't be able to fully test/use it for 4.2 until the bug is fixed, but we could at least see if can get to the point where the bug occurs.  

There'd be another $100 donation for you if we can get this working :)
