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:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org/

The set of patches against 2.6.18-rc6 was recently announced to the
mailing list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org/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.
