Parent article: Andrew Morton's 2.6.24 merge plans

My understanding is that the original authors are not actively working on
this any more and no new maintainer has stepped up to fix the remaining
issues with the code base.

If someone takes responsibility for maintaining the code, it could go in,
but the chance of that happening doesn't look too good right now.
Interesting file system development is now focused on btrfs, logfs and
ext4.

Last I heard Andrew Morton said that the reiser4 hackers played well with others.

Let's see...

http://pub.namesys.com/Reiser4/ToDo

Uh-oh -- looks like it hasn't been updated in half a year.

Edward Shishkin has been doing most of the Reiser4 work recently. However, I don't believe that any of the developers have access to the old Reiser email lists or web sites. That's one reason the email list moved to vger.kernel.org with the rest of the kernel lists.

I think the mailing list was moved because the namesys servers were being flaky and unstable. The wiki is probably unused for the same reason.

At least the FTP server is still being updated with recent patch releases: ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4-for-2.6/2.6.23-rc1-mm1/
