<p>&os; provides an API for guest OSes to access shared folders on
the host OS so that the kernel driver can expose them to the
guest's userland. This project aims to add such functionality to
the VirtualBox Guest Additions driver.</p>
<p>Good progress was made over last few months. Developers were
able to mount a filesystem in read-only mode and, with some
limitations, in read-write mode. The implementation still lacks
some critical pieces, but the roadmap is clear.</p>
