Impressed. Any info other than source?

[Info]

Hello,

I am really impressed by what you're doing with Reiserfs.
It is a wonderful mix of the immediately usable and great
promise for the future. 

I am somewhat amazed that this is such a low traffic list.
Am I missing some other place where this stuff is discussed?

Quoting from your website:

> an order of magnitude more of them.

To this end is there any documentation between the general 
descriptions (.../v4/v4.html and .../whitepaper.html) and
the actual source code? I have searched your site and the
web (although I haven't tried BitKeeper yet) and can't find
anything. It is not the actual internal workings so much as
how to modify a plugin that I'm interested in. Any sort of
howto type documentation?

Any URLs gratefully received!

Regards,
Paul Hilton

Not really.  We are in a period of stabilizing rather than designing new 
stuff.  Unfortunately, one always spends far more time stabilizing than 
designing.....

The source code is intended to be very readable.  I don't think there 
should be any documentation besides web site and source code.

I agree in principle, but in practice, a short "HACKING" file would be
nice with any project.  You have documentation for how to install, even
though it's a standard kernel patch & config, so why not a quick
"foo/bar/main.c might be a good place to start" kind of doc?
