Right now, it looks like the best course is the Journaling Flash File System
(JFFS) developed by Axis Communications. There is an effort underway to
incorporate this with the Memory Technology Device (MTD) subsystem. AFAIK, the
JFFS works with 2.0 kernels and there is a porting effort to get it up on 2.3
as well. For more info on JFFS:

and of course, the MTD site already mentioned:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
There are also mailing lists for both of these activities.
