I've created a MacFUSE organization on github. I'm in the process of importing the old code from the svn repo into git, I just need to collect the identities of the original contributors so I can do a proper conversion. After that I plan to collect all the different branches and patches that have been floating around and then we'll see how to go from there. Does that sound like a plan?
