So do I understand correctly ...

 - We have an NTFS filesystem from Anton Altaparmakov in fs/ntfs which was
   merged in 1997 and is read only.
 - We have Paragon's NTFS3 in the process of being merged
 - We have Tuxera's NTFS-3G hosted externally on Github that uses FUSE

Any other implementations of NTFS for Linux that we should know about?
Is there any chance that the various developers involved can agree to
cooperate on a single implementation?
