 Hello Andrew,

I have Uploaded the Proposal for Samba SoC 2014:

http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/public/google/gsoc2014/aktechamit/5629499534213120

Kindly, provide your feedback for further improvement of the proposal.

How I will handle unit testing side:

As far as Programming in Python is concerned for developing the unit tests,
I am planning to do that in Perl. If, in case that is not feasible then I
am Going to learn the required part for testing in Python (that's an easy
task), well before the Project will start.

I have been working for quite some time in C, basically on my College
Server, which involves closed source projects, that is the reason I have
not been able to include my previous works in C in my Proposal. I am in
talks with one of my professors, for getting the permission for providing
me with the source code of my past project.

& I have been Examining the LDAP Attributes that would be involved for
the  Workgroup Server Protocol Program.

Thanks,

With Regards,
