dovecot - Aug 2013 - Developer docs?

Hi,

I'm looking to modify Dovecot slightly to add support for a custom feature.
I've spent some time reading the code, and I've been wondering if there
are
any contributor/developer documents I've missed that would make getting up
to
speed easier.

I've read much of the code, and most of the wiki, including the Design/* and
/*Process pages.  They give a good summary of some of the design decisions,
but I don't see much other than that.  The docs included in the tarball are
just dumps of the wiki pages.

I've browsed some of the list archives as well, without finding much to help
me.

Are there other resources I've missed?  What I'm trying to do requires
passing
some additional information/state from the imap-login process (presumably
through the master) to the imap mail process.  Any pointers much appreciated!

Thanks,


C.

Nope. Maybe the docs will increase some day when there's more time and
developers.

See how imap-login/client-authenticate.c imap_client_auth_begin() sends the
command tag to imap process. Or if it's something all login processes need
you could modify struct master_auth_request directly.
