Sorry for my late reply. I was quite busy this week. Contribution to our project is of course welcome. NILFS is now a part of the Linux kernel, and is developed using public git trees and the linux-nilfs mailing list. I am taking in function enhancement as well as bug fixes which outside developers sent to me, simlilarly with usual Linux/OSS development. My recommendation for starting to get involved in the project is to utilize github; both userland utilities and nilfs branch of kernel tree are maintained there. This project has many todo items, which is listed in lower part of http://www.nilfs.org/en/current_status.html My recent concern is improving garbage collection algorithm and I/O performance of in-kernel filesystem module. What is necessary is just to do your favorite or possible thing, however, if you can provide help to these priorities, I would appreciate it :) Thanks, Ryusuke Konishi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
