OK, so let's put our thinking into words. But where do we start? the ML won't be a good place to do that IMHO. Something like github may be easier to contribute to, and since it won't be any real code at first, it shouldn't be a problem using a platform like that, right? https://github.com/btrfs8-revamp If you don't find that to be a good choice, I'm open to alternatives.
