First of all, sorry for cross-posting but I think it may be of interest to both groups: small@ as the ultimate target and current@ for their experience. After todays discussion, I've tried to summarize the comments to come up with some requirements - I've put up some more titles for additional items but, in the short term, I would like to ensure that the direction is correct and, hopefully, define it better yet. The idea is to define what the technology can or can't do before we organize the FS. I mean to help design a FS for a known target and not design for fun and, only then, look desperately for an application ;-) V 0.0 of the draft is at: http://mlagy.free.fr/POFS.pdf . This doc is really meant as a base for discussion, nothing else yet. Poul-Henning, you're welcome to raise a big binary red flag (i.e. ***NO*** :-) ) if you see something wrong ;-) When we come to a consensus, I can load it up on the "idea" page. Happy reading -- Olivier Gautherot olivier@gautherot.net
