Hello Bryce,
DriveSetup is Haiku's partitioning tool. As of now, it only supports
initializing existing partitions or entire disk drives as BFS. There
is no support for managing partitions, which primarily includes
creation, deletion, and modifying. Most of the user-space application
aspects require additional structures in the kernel to be implemented.
Skill set: kernel development, UI development, usability basics.

Looking forward to hear more from you!
