See i needed ideas to submit to my college for my 7th sem project
exams. I thought like this. Why not do one that they will find
acceptable and also contibute to open src in doing so. We have to do
one that deals with application layer and has sockets programming in
it . Anyother wont be acceptable by my university guidelines. So if i
do a module as a project my university guys wont find that acceptable
. I will do that later , not now.
