For my project, 'Introducing job control to the storage driver', right now I'm going through the `/src/qemu/THREADS.txt` as well as previous work done by Tucker DiNapoli during GSoC'14, as well as the proposal of Taowei Luo for GSoC'15. Their email threads are surely helping me get a better picture of the project. Apart from this, please let me know if there is anything else, which could help me with this project. Thansk!
Discussing the project would be a good start. You're doing well that you're reading what was done before, but also make sure to check out what is happening lately.
I started looking up the changes which happened after that using git-log, the release notes and also by looking up into the mailing list.

It would be nice to have the info about the variable being local in one place, at the top of the function. Most of us are used to our old C ways here, so keeping this in a similar fashion could be nice.
I understand that this is not an interesting task and it is also one of the easiest ones, but the idea for that was created when this actually solved a real bug. This will probably be a one-off since not much is happening in the script, but we could have a calmer sleep if the variables are marked properly.
Thanks, Martin for the suggestions. I'll be sending an updated version of this soon. Thanks, Prathamesh Chavan
