Hello, Well, thanks Stephen for adding and clarifying things. Actually, I have also submitted a proposal on the same and have been doing a lot of research work on this for the past few weeks. So, I added up on the callback stuff. Actually, I felt that it would be lots of work if someone want to have a entire postorius like thing for node as part of the GSoC project. So, for the time focusing on the port will be the best thing. So, I agree with Florian here. As far as the reasons you have suggested for not commenting, I will go with (c) option and the reason being I was lacking on the term "Student" but now things are more clear :-)
