Re: Two performance bugs

[Steven Brown <steven w j brown gmail com>]

Hi Ravi,

I also want to get involved with the code and did some searching for 
resources for my Summer of Code application.

If you download the source, there are some documents in the "docs" 
folder you may find useful.

~/Desktop/nautilus-2.18.0.1/docs $ ls
architecture.txt          Makefile.in             recommended-books.html
dnd.txt                   nautilus.faq            smoketests.html
key_mouse_navigation.txt  nautilus-internals.pdf  state-machines.txt
load-states.dia           nautilus-internals.sxw  style-guide.html
Makefile.am               nautilus-io.txt

I'm not sure how up-to-date everything is, but the 
nautilus-internals.pdf by Alexander Larson was quite informative.

Also, check out: http://live.gnome.org/Nautilus

I think it's more up-to-date than the project page 
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/nautilus/).

Haven't actually dove in to the code yet.  (Still working on finishing 
the last couple weeks of school.)

Hope that helps.

Steve
