[Hans Reiser]

there was some passing mention of a desire for a reiser4-janitors list.

What was the purpose of it?

Maybe we should just add some of you to reiserfs-dev?

flx, if David and Markus want to be on it, please add them.

On the other hand, as it is, recently they and others have been 
resuscitating a list that otherwise was filled with bug reports and not 
enough else for a long while.

I have a _lot_ to learn about reiser4.  I know almost nothing beyond the
whitepaper.  I wouldn't mind being on the dev list, I'm just not sure if
it would be a good idea.

You guys need a HACKING doc, or a plugin-writing howto.  At this rate, I
could have written about three or four proof-of-concept implementations
of this Lustre thing on LUFS in the time I've spent trying to understand
the reiser code.  But I want reiser's speed.

I'm not sure there was a request for a mailing list, but a list of known
TODO items such as the kernel janitors' list:

	http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/TODO

Seems like maintaining high signal/noise for NAMESYS developers and
encouraging discussion for non-core, but interested, folks would point to
keeping things as they are. Of course, if you end up adding some folks to
fs-dev, then I'd like to register my interest.

I figured it to be an emailing list for people who want to contribute
to Reiser4 by cleaning up code and FIXMEs and such.

Oh.. I stand corrected, but still.

I think I've mentioned it a couple of times, but I'm not really a programmer
per se, I'm just totally interested and do my damndest to provide decent
bug reports and try to discuss things.

Then again, I'd also be interested in contributing to the code side, if
real-life constraints such as skill and time allow.

So sure, count me in on the reiserfs-dev list, but an open list such as
this, but for lesser-importance code discussion might be a good idea, for guys
like me who are not really Reiser4 developers, at least yet.

Thanks!
