A 'hello world' plugin would be useful indeed to new devs/weekend
warriors,  As for 'plugging' and 'unplugging', we must remember that
reiser4 is coldplug, not hotplug. A hello_world.patch would be great. As
for the PITA factor, I don't feel it is a significant issue, as if you
are hacking the code, you expect things to break and take some time.

I have found in my travels a simple hello_world fs[1] written by Ravi
Kiran[2].  If there could be a page with examples, like [3] for reiser4,
it would be a great benifit to reiser4 as well as the entire fs-dev
community.

As an aside, Geocities.. ICK, we (as a whole) need to get this person a
real web provider IMO.
