    A project you may want to look into adding is Tern [0]. I've had a good time reading through the code over the past couple of weeks, and have found it to be at least not "bad" code, and pretty easy to understand.

    Specifically how they are untarring each container layer and creating a chroot jail to run commands inside is fairly self-contained and interesting.
