Thanks to all who followed up, and my apologies for top-posting (if I did). I'll subscribe after I send this. Christopher Sawtell was kind enough to send me a copy of the documentation. I've made it available at: http://reiser4.erudified.com Toby Thain went ahead and registered reiser4.{com,net,org} (see below) and I've added ServerAlias entries for all of them, so if/when he points DNS to 72.249.66.100, there should be a decent TLD source for reiserfs information. Still, it isnt exactly authoritative, and it certainly doesn't contain any of the wiki entries from namesys.com. It's late, but I'll try to go through the google cache and add them this week, as well as fix any broken links. Toby also volunteered to provide hosting, and I'm sure there are plenty of others who'd be willing to do so. I currently use the machine for other things, but I can provide root access on another one, or simply donate some cash for those developing reiser4 to make their own arrangements. I think it's obviously in the project's best interests to have a single, authoritative source for documentation, etc, even if it's just until Namesys changes hands. It'd also show the community at large that reiser4 is still kicking, which can only be a good thing. So, again, a couple questions: 1.) Are the ReiserFS developers willing to make a public statement about the future of the project? Will it continue as an open source project even if future Namesys management opts to make it proprietary? Is anyone even in a position to make such a statement? 2.) Who's in the best position to provide hosting? My machine is a pretty basic dual core, 2gb ram, as much bandwidth as you can shake your stick at. I can donate root access to another machine with the same specs. Toby offered to provide hosting as well, so maybe he could chime in with the particulars of his arrangements. I'm willing to donate a fairly substantial amount of cash to any developer with a proven track record of ReiserFS contributions who'd like to set up some sort of authoritative source for ReiserFS docs/releases. If that's you, please drop me a line. I'd like to emphasize that I'm not at all interested in taking control of anything or butting heads with anyone. I'd simply like to see the reiser4 community come to a concensus about where and how documentation and releases will be made available in the absence of Hans' management. I'm happy to provide any kind of support I can, financial or otherwise. Let's get the ball rolling! And, last but not least, thanks for the great work!! =) On 3/3/08, Toby Thain <toby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I would love to help.
