Creating a Connectify like network sharing software for ubuntu

[Gaurav Shukla]

Hi,

I am a full-time Ubuntu user for past 3 years and I love it but coming from
windows background I really miss a few Softwares and would like to be
available for ubuntu. One such software is Connectify. For those who are
not aware of connectify, it is a software which allows user to share his
internet with other devices by creating a hotspot.

I want to create a similar software for ubuntu. Here's a list of features
and how we plan to implement it -

   - GUI would be created using glade.
   - Option to share internet over wifi while being connected to internet
   via same wifi adapter (Equivalent of connectify hotspot)
   - Option to share Lan over wifi and vice versa
   - Option to send and receive files with people connected on the network
   (Equivalent of connectify Fling)

Optionally I would like to give an option to combine the bandwidth of many
internet sources (3g/4g wifi and lan) to increase download speeds (Similar
to connectify Dispatch)

I am not new to programming or software development but I don't have much
Idea about networking and device driver programming So I would like to know
if someone here could guide me and my 3 teammates on this project.

Even if no one is available to mentor us on this I would still like to know
where can I start or some similar application whose source code I can use
as a reference.
