Re: Help with squid source code?

Going thought my inbox I found this message laying around. Have I sent
you a answer on this? Anyway here is a new answer.

We have a separete mailinglist for code/design related discussions.

squid-dev@ircache.net

The best place to ask code related quiestions is without doubt on
squid-dev. I will try to answer any questions you send in private, but I
do not claim to know every detail of Squid, especially not in
inter-proxy communication areas.

To subscribe to squid-dev, send a message to wessels@nlanr.net
indicating that you are interested in joining squid-dev and why. Based
on your explanation on what you are interested to do this is the correct
mailinglist for you; squid-users carries a lot of discussion and very
little is related to the actual implementation. squid-dev carries very
little discussion and mostly code/implementaion related.

What kind of delta encoding are you looking into? At what level? Please
eloberate on this.

ps. squid-dev needs some people that asks things about the code &
design.. ds.
