Re: Project idea

Hi Gábor,

Our current plan is to have something suitable for implementation by early summer, so this is feasible. 

Of course, that's not a guarantee; we'll need to choose a header compression algorithm by then. However, if you architect well, this shouldn't be a showstopper, since you can plug new compression algorithms in later.

If you decide to proceed, please do keep us informed; I'm sure people here would be interested and willing to provide feedback.

Regards,

I am a student, and this is a project idea for the 2013 Google Summer of Code, but I'd like to do some preliminary research about the feasibility of the idea before contacting any mentoring organization with it.

The emphasis would be on easy-to-understand and well documented code instead of performance.
