Keith, your often-absent host here: The btrfs stuff looks interesting, and I would like to see an experimental branch of dirvish test out such things. For the main branch, I don't want to release anything, even changes that "ought to have no effect", without testing on multiple systems. There are many sites using dirvish for backup because it Just Works; for example, the Mozilla project and kernel.org . We don't want to risk those!
That said, I have zero time to manage the process. Ambitious individuals occasionally offer to take over the hosting and management of the project. I suggest they present themselves to you folks, and you can grill them, and they can demonstrate to you what excellent new hosts they will be. So far, nobody has moved to step 2, so you are still stuck with me. I would love to see new features in dirvish, most especially better installation, better testing tools, and better recovery tools. I would love to see the code refactored into libraries to make experiments and new tools easier. I would like to move the repository from subversion to git, opening up possibilities for multiple threads of development. I would like to convert existing wiki content from Kwiki Wiki to MoinMoin, for better security. And I don't have the time or expertise to do any of that. So, I am open to ideas here. How can we move forwards? Keith PS, besides working on the house we bought a few months ago, my main activities are selling a business, and working on Server Sky ( http://server-sky.com ).
