I am interested in GSOC 2013 project that is Automatic Resizing of LVM and File system. The basic idea of project is below:
If the free space drops before certain threshold etc. The installer should be modified to compute the necessary space needed for installing the selected set of packages and allocate the LVM volumes
Nice idea. Software installation might not be the only task asking for such kind of feature. I'd suggest to follow snappers example and develop the 'resizer' as a standalone application. The installer (libzypp) could be modified to look for a plugin (provided by e.g. your application) willing to handle a low disk space exception.
