To subscribe you need to send a message to
squid-dev-subscribe@squid-cache.org. If you have already sent such
message please send it again as it seems it may have been lost.

See http://www.squid-cache.org/mailing-lists.html#squid-dev for details
and policy of the squid-dev list.

To access CVS your first need to become member of the project you want
to access..

You now have CVS access to the Squid project. It is recommended you
upload your SSH key to your account for CVS, saving your from having to
type the password on each CVS operation.

Then see http://devel.squid-cache.org/ for instructions and rules on how
to access the Squid developer CVS tree. If you have any questions post
them here on squid-dev and we will try to help you.

I am only fixing up some issues seen when reading the patch. The bulk of
the ICAP client is developed by Geetha Manjunath with help from Ralf
Horstmann.

Help is needed in all areas. There is many small things still missing in
the Squid-2.5 ICAP client, and a lot of testing to do.

I am trying to keep some notes on http://devel.squid-cache.org/icap/

Correct.

A lot of the code is still "C" code however, merely translated to C++
syntax, but gradually more and more is refactored into an OO
architecture.

As a guideline each area of the Squid code extended in Squid-3 (the C++
version of Squid) is refactored into C++ and cleaned up design to get
rid of many ugly things which have grown onto the old C code over the
years.

Very Good.
