While this is a good start, I would suggest that in your proposal you go into more details, in particular the first part - the inotify interface. You should research it some more and ideally outline what changes you want to implement where and what the approach you'll take - or at least what options there are (with technical details of each). We generally also like to see prior experience/code in proposals. So please add some reference to some code/patch/etc that you have written - and ideally ended up in some open source project. Alternatively it's always an option to go through our bugtracker and maybe fix an easy bug or two. HTH, Alex
