Hi,
I am interested in working on this project as part of gsoc. I have prior 
experience working with qemu.
  After reading some basic information on qcow2 and qed from:
1. http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-09/msg00310.html
2. http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/qcow-image-format.html

I am now planning to start reading their source code. What do you 
suggest? Are there any other specific things that I should read about?

P.S. I just found out another new qemu image format 
FVD(http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/FVD/Compare). I will try to read it too.

Regards,
Dushyant
