If we treat ZFS-OSX as an active OpenZFS [[projects | project]] then it may be reasonable to add just one page – [[MacZFS]] – to outline the development and testing of ZFS-OSX. A complement to the [https://github.com/zfs-osx/zfs/blob/master/README.markdown readme that's normally represented at the ZFS-OSX page] on GitHub.  
* outlines the development and testing of ZFS-OSX
* complements the [https://github.com/zfs-osx/zfs/blob/master/README.markdown readme file at the ZFS-OSX page] on GitHub
* complements the [http://maczfs.org MacZFS site].  


As a potential step in that direction, the four headings below have been moved from [[distributions]] (where they were briefly placed for discussion in IRC).  
Expect an eventual migration of at least some content to the MacZFS site.

==== To begin testing the most recent build ====
 
[http://zerobsd.tumblr.com/post/62586498252/os-x-with-zfs ZeroBSD | OS X with ZFS] offers an approach to obtaining the most recent code, building from that code and installing the built software.
 
==== To test without building ====
 
Disk images are ocasionally added to http://lundman.net/ftp/osx.zfs/ – aim for the most recent .dmg file. The image will contain built software – binaries, kernel extensions (KEXTs) and so on – that may be used with or without installation.
 
These images are not designed to include the most recent fixes or enhancements. If in doubt, please ask in IRC:
 
* irc://chat.freenode.net/#mac-zfs
 
==== The simplest approach ====
 
Expect a user-friendly package – for use with Apple's Installer.app – before the end of 2013.
 
=== Suggested focus areas for testers ===
 
A ZFS file system for your home directory
* where ~ is the root of that file system.
 
A ZFS file system containing multiple home directories.
 
=== Notes ===
 
ZFS-OSX is [https://github.com/zfs-osx/zfs/issues?direction=asc&sort=created&state=open not yet feature-complete].
 
If you're limited to Leopard, or if you require the most stable MacZFS at this time, then instead of ZFS-OSX: consider relatively old version 74.3 of MacZFS.
 
If you normally use MacZFS 74.3 or ZEVO: you must uninstall that software before testing ZFS-OSX.
