I would like to create some kind of reiser4-SDK where 
more people can easily experiment with reiser4. 

In my vision reiser4 has a big future as a specialized 
filesystem: A filesystem where you can add special features/logic/semantics perhaps even dynamicly. 

I need a different reiser4: A minimal reiser4 "kernel" with 
common features,  this r4-kernel then loads extensions 
special to a r4 partition directly from that partition. 
I mean the defenitions of extensions but also the code 
of these extensions. So there has to be a common 
interpreter of such extensions included in a r4-"kernel".

This way every r4-"extended"-partition can serve a 
different purpose. Eg think of some semantic 
extensions special to music. Users would mount 
a specialized r4 partition at
/home/username/mymusic
Or for pictures .... etc

I believe reiser4 has a big future with its capabilities 
in a field of special storage. Think of all the new
little "iphone" devices.

A rewrite would have self-educational purpose for me 
personally and could have documentation effects 
(if done proper) for reiser4 in general.

EOTTL ??

See above notes!
