Sorry,the email is incomplete. As mentioned above, I am a C developer and really interested in file systems, and the Fedora community redirected me to BTRFS. I would really love to contribute to btrfs. Please let me know how I can proceed further, and what are the potential areas I can work in.

If you come up with something else that''s not on the list, I''d suggest putting a brief description of it in this mailing list, just to check whether there''s someone else working on it, or if it''s an unexpectedly difficult or controversial idea.

I have been studying concurrency lately, so I would love to work in that area. Specifically, I would love to work on ''Btree lock contention''. I have some ideas for it, specifically I would like to see if we can reduce the lock granularity or spread the threads blocking over time, or maybe use something like combining trees. Please let me know if that is ok.

Is there any way to revert this? I am really sorry for having caused this. My lack of experience with wikis.

It is still an open project, right? Or do I find something else to work on?
