+This package contains a greatly revised NFS implementation for Linux
+along with the necessary daemons and utilities. There are still several
+features missing that I'd want to include, and there are some recent
+improvements to the Linux NFS kernel client not reflected here (notably
+the attrtimeo fix).
+
+This thing has become much too large for me to handle all alone anymore.
+Originally, I had planned to have most of the NFS implementation running
+stably by August, so I could start to concentrate more on other jobs that
+are currently in the queue (like updating the NAG). As it turned out, it
+was much more work than I anticipated, and I fell short of my time goal.
+I'm therefore looking for volunteers who would like to work with me on
+finishing this package. Otherwise, this project could end up rusting in
+the corner of some FTP site...
+
+Ideally, I would want to hand over parts of the source tree to other
+hackers to maintain/enhance/etc. But that's not a requirement; if you
+feel you don't have that much time, you can also contribute by picking
+up one of the loose ends and finish what needs to be done (take a look
+at the TODO file...) And then, you can also be plainly a tester.
+
+There's currently a mailing list for lockd development at NRAO
+(lockd-statd@linux.nrao.edu --- mail majordomo@linux.nrao.edu to
+subscribe). If Jeff agress, we could turn this into a general linux-nfs
+mailing list.
+
+
+Hope this covers about what I wanted to say,
+Olaf
