Hi Everybody!

I'm Tharidu Fernando, a second year undergraduate student of University of
Colombo School of Computing (Sri Lanka) following the Computer Science
degree.

I'm really interested in the project of implementing Microsoft's Safe String
library for UNIX/Linux which serves as a function in OpenAFS.

 I love that project idea because as a student im doing lots of projects in
C language(data structures and algorithms , string manipulation, ..) and
often face problems with the current C String manipulation library.
As to OpenAFS - this will enable safer code and also improve code
quality. As i understand this will benefit the Open Source Community a lot
also.

I'm currently studying the Microsoft implementation. But I would like to who
will be mentoring this project and where to get started! And also code
conventions.

Thank You,

Regards,
Tharidu Fernando
