It's a JFFS2 clone, with some debug output changes, and a patch that
speeds up mounting time (aka the Summary Patch).

It was forked to allow some new features to be developed, etc.  No
webpage for education, since there really isn't much to be educated on
yet.  The TODO in that dir has some proposed goals.  Other than that,
"Use the Source, Luke" :).
