[haiku-development] Re: [GSoC] improper name for "Porting SAMBA" task

Excuse me, I'm the student who have submitted for "Port SAMBA" task.
Effectively, I had linux courses and I learned the CIFS client for Linux in
samba sources.. Don't have a good experience of BSD, I didn't find the wrong
title according to the task.

Now, I can work on porting SAMBA like write a CIFS client, it's on your
convenience, I'll have motivation for one or other task. I updated my
application like "Port Samba", but if you prefer a CIFS client app, I can
update again. Just that I can't find a good plan now, I have oracle exam and
can't do good research about CIFS client before the deadline.

I have changed the ticket accordingly.

Excuse me, but where did you change the ticket ?
