First, I haven't yet applied for the project mainly because i will probably not be able to work full time on a GSoC project due to real life issues (part time job, family related things etc). On the other hand I doubt that it will require ~3 months to implement, I have done my prototype over more or less a weekend.
That's why there's more than one FUSE file systems on the list ;)
I miss the technical discussion on how the problem should be solved. I think the idea of keeping the original filename in an extended attribute and storing everything in lower case is a pretty good one. Andrew Tridgell also listed it on one of his slides from WineConf05 [1].
The tricky part is convincing Alexandre Julliard, as always when working on Wine.
I prototyped something and thought this way I would at least get some feedback (after all "Talk is cheap. Show me the code." is common practice in the open source world). But this wasn't really the case, so i am still wondering what should be done differently?
Whoops, I didn't see that url. Sorry, but things were a bit busy recently. I'll give that a whirl later today.
