Hello All,
I am interested in working on ext4 development. Have worked on linux
(driver development) as a part of my job. Also had done some internal
work on ext2fs (more of knowledge building).
My plan would be to understand the new features that are planned for
ext4 development. Where can I get this information ?
Then start with some minor contribution.
Would appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Udayan

A wiki page was started, but hasn't been updated in a while:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ext3-devel
It was created before it was decided to branch ext4. :-)
The archives for this mailing list are probably the most complete
reference. The gmane archive,
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4 , appears incomplete.
This one looks to be in better shape:

The set of patches against 2.6.18-rc6 was recently announced to the
mailing list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00051.html
I'm working on porting them to 2.6.18-rc6-mm2 and cleaning them up a
little bit. I'm hoping I get that done later today.

It's a wiki. We're all guilty. :-)
