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. >> (probably D: has clean syntax, has classes and > yup, object-oriented means would be a plus.
