Hello Sreenath;

Thank you for your interest in the HFS+ port.

Around 2004-2005 there was an initial port done but the developer
behind it lost interest and no one picked it up. Apparently the Apple
code was very clean and a lot stuff just worked. Since then the Apple
driver has advanced a lot though.

My recommendation is to take a look at the webarchive link referred by
in the wiki:
     https://wiki.freebsd.org/HFS

Start from the newest XNU sources but take a look at the previous code
for reference. Do try to keep some version control system (github,
bitbucket, google code, etc) so that the effort can be picked up if you
later lose interest.

Note that this project is not tagged GSoC as it may take more
dedication than just a Summer, however if we see there is interest,
that the project is well planned, and even that some coding has started
we would be likely to find a mentor.

Pedro.
