We have an EU research project coming to an end in February/March, and I'm
running our end of it.

I'm hoping to snatch a few days in the next week or two to merge in all the MTD
fixes I've been sent and look at the problems which have been reported, and
make a new release.

After that, I'm unlikely to be able to be very productive until mid-to-late 
Feb.

I have documentation on NFTL and the DiskOnChip hardware which I am permitted 
to release under NDA to someone who is serious about contributing to the 
development - your assistance would be greatly appreciated because I was 
hoping to have that completed by now.

There is also some work to be done with FTL on NOR flash, I believe. It should 
work, but apparently there are some problems with it. I don't currently have 
access to any NOR flash devices so haven't tested it recently.

Also, someone needs to provide new PCMCIA bulkmem drivers which use the MTD 
system. 

There's plenty of work to go round.
