Salah and myself have been cleaning up the code for the last few months, and since the current status of it is Orphan, it would be great if we could take care of it. Personally, besides clean ups, I would like to add more documentation of how the file system works, eg. including more function descriptions, so the Linux implementation can be the ideal practical match to Dominic Giampaolo's free book "Practical File System Design with the Be File System". This book is the most in-depth I've found about any file system, which is why I think having linux/fs/befs well documented would be very valuable to eveybody learning about how file systems work. I attach below what the change in MAINTAINERS would look like. If this is approved I will send a proper formatted patch mail. Thanks, Luis PD: I don't know if there is a formal process for maintainership in the Linux kernel community. I am happy to follow that if it exists. Also, if I'm missing anybody who should be in CC, please let me know. --- MAINTAINERS | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.5.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 8c20323..7a62abc 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -2321,7 +2321,9 @@ S: Supported F: drivers/media/platform/sti/bdisp BEFS FILE SYSTEM -S: Orphan +M: Luis de Bethencourt +M: Salah Triki +S: Mantained F: Documentation/filesystems/befs.txt F: fs/befs/
