Dear Jan, Robert other devs, I have prepared a draft proposal for the project. It can be found on this link <https://docs.google.com/a/cse.mrt.ac.lk/document/d/1Yrj73vXAJjBA0-i_Nt78FUipy5oTtZ42UG2TlXmH4y0/edit?usp=sharing>. It is neither complete nor contain much technical details. It is completely based on what you have told me and what I have read so far. Please add your comments to improve the proposal and point me out if I have misunderstood anything you have told me or about the project.
I think I need a deep understanding on stdio. Please point me some direction to learn them. Thank You.
