It's critical on many levels for any project, especially a filesystem. I believe we'd all like to see the project made easily available and hosted by the most capable/trustworthy/etc party that can be found, and I wholeheartedly agree that this isn't me. I'm willing to give it a shot, but there are certainly better options on the table. I probably have no right to say this, but I think there's an obligation here to the community and to Hans himself to continue in the most professional way possible. Can we agree on this? If you (the reiserfs developers) come to a consensus about where to host it, I'll send $1000 USD to whoever's taking the lead in getting it done. I'm willing to sponsor ongoing development on a feature-by-feature basis as well. I'm really, honestly, seriously just interested in seeing Reiser4 become a first-class filesystem citizen. It deserves it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
