Hi,

I have a series of articles in the works that talks about how to implement 
a filesystem (kernel driver + utilities) for Solaris. I started this with 
the idea of making a series of blogs.sun.com articles from it, but maybe 
it'd be better to put something like this onto opensolaris.org ?

I also wonder if we have a mechanism to solicit editorial review on such 
writeups. I'm quite aware that the official "writing device drivers" 
guides deliberately omit certain topics such as filessytems or bus nexus 
drivers, and I know reasons for that, so my goal here is not to provide an 
official guide "this is how to do it". But OpenSolaris needs filesystems 
(think ntfs, Linux ext[23]/reiser/jfs/xfs, ...), and there are people in 
the community who already have started such projects; a writeup "this is 
how it _can_ be done" therefore seemed appropriate ...

In any case, for those on the lists that are Sun-internal, what I have 
written to date is on my Sun-internal weblog page, 
http://blogs.sfbay.sun.com/roller/page/frankho (use the 'permalink'); does 
anyone know a way to make this reviewable by the osol community as well ?

Does anyone see a better way to make such a writeup available than 
a page on blogs.sun.com ?

Thanks for feedback,

Frank
