My SoC2008 project: Porting BSD-licensed Text-Processing Tools from OpenBSD

Hello,

I've been actively working on FreeBSD as a ports and doc committer since December 2006 and has participated 2 times in the Summer of Code program, but my current project is from a different area thus I would like to summarize my goals and introduce myself for those who don't know me yet.

I'm a Hungarian student of 20 years studying Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Budapest. So far I've been involved with the Ports Collection and with my two last SoC project I've written some enhancements for the Ports Collection infrastructure. I've been also working on the documentation set. I've started the Hungarian Documentation Project in which I've translated the webpages and some articles and have coordinated the volunteer efforts of other translators. One of them, pgj@ has translated the Handbook and he is my mentee now. We are reviewing the translation at the moment so we will commit it in the near future.

With my current project I want to get some experience in new areas, I intend to deepen my knowledges of C programming and study some POSIX API. My project aims to port the text-processing tools from OpenBSD: grep, sort, diff. You can read my proposal here: http://kovesdan.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/soc2008/soc2008.pdf
The current progress can be seen on my wiki page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/G%C3%A1borSoC2008
And the actual changes made by me can be tracked in my Perforce branch: http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/soc2008/gabor%5ftextproc&HIDEDEL=NO

Comments are welcome!

Regards,
