Indeed ... I transferred as much knowledge as I could to a group of SGI engineers who were then working on the project for a while. Unfortunately then the whole group was laid off (for unrelated reasons). I could not find a sponsor for continuing from there since. The open issues in the project include some research (e.g., figuring out how Windows applications behave in practice when using Linux NFSv4 ACLs -- this is necessary to make a few implementation decisions which the overall design has left open), and some more implementation / testing / documentation work.
