[Gluster-devel] looking for a start point to start Glusterfs development

[Gustavo Bervian Brand]

Hello Kunal,

  I began to study gluster and use it to try some concepts by the middle of
2012 and for me the most useful sources of information were/are:

  To begin with:
  - The four posts "Translator 101" from Jeff Darcy at
http://hekafs.org/index.php/2011/11/
  - The translator api description at
http://hekafs.org/dist/xlator_api_2.html

  Then:
  - The gluster-devel list history at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.gluster.devel
  - About the gluster protocol comm, some reverse engineering Niels
presented at the last Gluster workshop at Linuxcon

http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/File:Gluster_Wireshark_Niels_de_Vos.pdf

  And some online doxygen documentation I found through the web from
version 3.2.7 (you can always generate it yourself, but a direct like that
sometimes is useful too).
  -

Best,
Gustavo Brand
