What topics are you interested in? I could probably write decent explanations of:

- NetworkProcess: tradeoffs for making it a process vs a thread in the UI process
- Load interception for proxying - ResourceHandle vs. ResourceLoader layer, pros and cons for each
- What code runs inside the network process, exactly?

Any other topics folks would be interested in?

Maciej
