There is no such "material" for the project, the goal is a Caching Filesystem based on Fuse, think about create a generic caching mechanism for web servers (keep that in mind, read-only operations are allowed). Most of the proposal is up to your own research and point of view, the proposal must be realistic and attractive. note: FUSE is desired but if you find something better, feel free to share your ideas. regards, -- Eduardo Silva http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl http://www.monkey-project.com
