Just a couple of notes on the F17 project web site.

  1.  In the "Scope" section you might reference the fedfs-utils upstream
project web site, for more information:

     http://oss.oracle.com/projects/fedfs-utils

In addition to license information, interested readers can find presentation
slides, the FedFS LDAP schema, and a project roadmap.

  2.  In the "Dependencies" section, you should list nfs-utils along with the
kernel patches.  Changes are needed to mountd in order to process junctions. 
I've discussed these plans with Steve, but we can fill in more details on this
site if that's required.

Additionally, LDAP servers need to have the FedFS LDAP schema installed. 
Finally, /etc/rpc needs to be updated to include the IANA-assigned fedfs RPC
program number.  There are bugzillas filed for each of these items.

  3.  We should note somewhere (maybe in the "Benefit to Fedora" section) that
fedfs-utils is part of a larger, ongoing effort to build out storage
administration features on Linux file servers.  This includes, to name but a
few:

  *  The ability to manage NFS referrals either via FedFS or via a simple
command line tool on file servers
  *  Support for SMB2 in a FedFS framework
  *  Support for NFSv4.1's fs_locations_info attribute
  *  Client-side support for NFSv4 migration with transparent state migration
  *  Support for transparent NFS client access to replicated file sets
