Enhancing Browsix and Implementing a init system and IPC.

[Rounaq Jhunjhunu Wala]

Hi there.

I am a Computer Science Majors Student deeply interested in Operating Systems and Web Technologies. I found about browsix from GSoC 2016 page. It is a great way to give power to browsers. I downloaded the repository and built it on my system. I am planning to complete some TODOs indicated in the code [ For eg., recursive mkdir ] and also want to contribute towards the init system that you mentioned in the projects. Can you elucidate me on the structure of browsix and organization, along with some expectation to the kind of code that would be suitable for the above.

Thanks.

Hi Rounaq!

It is great to hear you are interested! The best way to get familiar
with the code is to work on the starter task:
https://github.com/plasma-umass/browsix/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code-2016-Starter-Task

There is an example workflow on how to go about implementing a utility
at the bottom of that page. In addition, there is a document on the
high level architecture and design here:
https://github.com/plasma-umass/browsix/blob/master/doc/report.pdf

Let me know if you have additional questions!

yours,
Bobby
