First peek at source code

Nothing mayor to report. I still don't have a whole lot of time to spend on the project, but I try to sneak in an hour here and there. I don't think this is an issue as far as the project is concerned, but I regret that I haven't had much time to spend on community bonding yet (I stuck my head into the Globus Pub at the MCS MUD a few days ago, but that's about it).

This past week I've begun peeking at the source code, along with reading more documentation. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is an implementation of a minimal driver which does nothing but pass data along. That sort of thing is always helpful in understanding how something works. Also, I think it will make a good starting point for developing the compression driver (in fact, throwing together a do-nothing driver was what I had in mind as my first mini-milestone).
