More on Namesys
Description from Wikipedia:
Namesys is a California corporation responsible for the design and implementation of the ReiserFS and Reiser4 filesystems. It is based in Oakland, California and also operates in Russia. The company is owned and run by Hans Reiser. The company also provides support for Linux systems.
The future of the company is in some doubt after Reiser was found guilty of murder and announced plans to sell the company to pay for his legal defense.
Currently their website is not accessible due to DNS issues. Furthermore, Edward Shishkin, an employee of and programmer for Namesys, is quoted in a CNET interview saying that "Commercial activity of Namesys has stopped."
Edward Shishkin announced on April 18, 2008 that Kernel.org provided space for the following projects:
* reiserfsprogs
* reiser4 patches against vanilla kernels
* and reiser4progs.
All updates will be announced at reiserfs-devel mailing list (search through this list at MARC).
