As far as I've been able to understand (and believe me, I'm as impatient and frustrated as you are ;) ) those file systems were just tech demos for the video floating around the web. Read: internal test apps written to showcase the possibilities of FUSE. They do encourage people to write their own file systems and they make it sound like anybody can do it, but I'm guessing that's directed at people who already know what they're doing when it comes to programming or using the hardcore features of the Unix command line. So, for the rest of us it's a waiting game. I do hope they actually come out with apps like those in the tech demo. If you can follow directions to the letter (even if you don't know what exactly you're doing) then I'm sure Amit has the code and instructions somewhere.
This is also a "low energy" project considering that there's only one person, Amit Singh, actively on the project. And even he has other things he's doing at Google that take his attention away from it. The impression I get is that while this is a very impressive and interesting project to Amit Singh and to lots of other people inside and outside of Google it is not the most important project at Google (Google Web Search, Wave, Android, Chrome and Chrome OS probably being the most important ones right now). Currently I've been able to find only two file systems of interest available to FUSE. ntfs-3g and ext2 (or is that ext3?). The first illustrated here: http://cnettv.cnet.com/read-write-ntfs-os-x/9742-1_53-32399.html The second is what I have installed, but I forgot which one I have. I installed it a long time ago and I have no idea how to find out. There are others, but I hadn't been interested enough to download and install them. They're applications of FUSE I don't recognize and therefore didn't feel a need to download them. but I'm sure they're useful to someone. I really hope this project gets kicked into high gear. I'm really itching to see what can be done other than what's been shown on the tech demo vid. It could be as useful as widgets are for the Dashboard.
