Dear all

This is a contributed code base which has just been received under
the GNU GPL license. It was a part of various other code at
Xinit Systems, UK for shipping to its customers'.

Rome was not built in a day. We are going to work on this code base slowly
and make a lightweight Linux distribution out of it, so it can be installed
on any computer to make it into a NAS appliance.

There are many things Openfiler can do right now. There are many more
features which are planned and will be implemented in due course.

This is a "source code" release. As you can see, many things are difficult
to do and documentation is scant. Please remember that you should consider
this beta-quality until it has been cleaned up and a formal Linux
distribution is released for an end-user to use. Most users may want to
wait till the final distribution is released.

We want to hear bug reports, if any of you get this working with the quick
start instructions. There are mailing lists for bug reports and support:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openfiler-users


We welcome developers to participate in development too.
The associated list is:

Kind regards,
The Openfiler Project Team
