Hello.

When will GSoC 2009 Ideas for GRUB be published?  And what are the ideas?
I want to add BTRFS support for GRUB, is that OK? I was being ready for
this.

Thanks!

This page was created by C. Bergström based on my mails and subsequently 
modified by me. Don't consider it to be absolut reference. However BTRFS 
is problematic. AFAIR on-disk format isn't finalized yet. So code 
written now may be broken in the future. It means that probably main 
reference for it is its code. But AFAIR it's under GPLv2. So you can't 
use this code to do the same in grub. Even looking at that code isn't 
advised. So I would say that we shouldn't implement btrfs until its 
on-disk format is finalized and enough documentation on it is published

As I said before don't see my pages as a reference. But probably the 
amount of work needed for both features together is still too small for 
GSoC. That's why it's in section "Probably not suitable for GSoC"
