+
+      <p>During Google Summer of Code, Aditya Sarawgi created a GPL-free
+	implementation of ext2fs for FreeBSD, which has now been completed.
+	However, there are several avenues for potential further work:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Implement preallocation in ext2fs; the GPL-licensed preallocation
+	  code present in the previous implementation was removed, but it may
+	  well be desirable to add it back.  This should be driven by
+	  benchmarking and performance analysis.</li>
+	<li>Update ext2fs to be able to read ext4 file systems, and possibly
+	  add other functionality from newer ext file system versions.</li>
