Developer Resources

  • ZFS experts
  • Mailing list
  • Illumos integration process
  • IRC: #openzfs on freenode
  • Twitter: @openzfs
  • Office hours: rotating the leader/owner
  • Pointers to other mailing lists and repos?
  • Test framework
  • Links to distributions so users can start using ZFS as quickly as possible
  • Links to repositories (w/OpenGrok to search them) [OpenGrok may need to be a nice-to-have]
  • Information about how to develop ZFS for the different distributions/pointers to them (e.g., how to build illumos)
    • In particular, documentation about how to test and possibly scripts for building

Implementation Documentation
