Je suis interessé par ce projet s'il n'est pas pris biensure. Je compte travailler avec un étudiant dont je suis sûre qu'il est à la hauteur.

In English, please :)

I'm interested in this project if it is not of corse taken. I intend to work with a student I am sure he is up to.

In that case, let's give it a try! If you need help, don't hesitate to contact me/us, preferably by irc. In English: #introduction http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23introduction In French: #devfr http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23devfr

In the absence of news, de-assigning.

David I would like to take this bug. Can you get me started on this?

Thanks for picking up that bug. This bug is quite experimental, it is about 1/ finding out whether a read-ahead flag (see bug 863373) would be useful under Windows 2/ if so, add support for such a read-ahead for OS.File for Windows. Let's start with 1: - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865389#c21 for the MacOS X experiments; - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=splinter.html&bug=845907&attachment=720496 for a possible implementation of ReadAhead for Windows in C++.

David, quick question, do I need to setup build environment on windows? I am currently using Ubuntu.

I am still working on this bug. Due to exams I am not able to post a patch here. I think I will start working on this on 5th of Dec.

Hi Sumit4iit, did you have time to work on this?

Hi Yoric, No, actually I got busy with campus placments, which are over now. I thing I should be able to get back by this weekend. Sorry for delay.

Deassigning for the time being. If anybody is interested please take this bug, else will revisit later.
