+Project: Namespace-based translator selection
+
+---
+
+## Current Task
+
+Write the filesystem proxy for namespace-based translator selection (*nsmux*).
+
+The code is at <http://github.com/scolobb/nsmux/tree/master>.
+
+---
+
+###Did this week
+
+* Modified the node cache so that it maintains shadow nodes alive.
+
+###Plans for the next week
+
+* Implement the shutting down of translator stacks when *nsmux* is asked to go away (in case **antrik** considers that necessary).
+
+* Make *nsmux* provide the access to the translator stack of the real node, in case a translator (mainly, a filter) should ask for its underlying node to be opened in O_NOTRANS mode.
+
+---
+
+###Current Status
+
+####DONE:
+
+* The skeleton which mirrors the filesystem.
+
+* Provide proxy nodes (modify the standard version of netfs_S_dir_lookup).
+
+####TODO:
+
+* Create the generic filtering translator.
+
+* Create the translator '0' (providing the untranslated version of the
+ node).
+
+* Create the "recursive wrappers" for one-node translators.
+
+* Create special translators for the main proxy so that its functionality
+ should be complete.
+
+* Implement sharing of dynamic translator stacks where possible.
+
+* Make dynamic translators go away as soon as they are not required.
+
+* Refine the skeleton in several places so that it should become faster
+ and more reliable.
+
+* Kill bugs.
+
+* Integrate nsmux upstream.
+
+* Solve the libtrivfs stacking issue.
+
+* Patch libnetfs (it does not support file_get_translator_cntl, for
+ instance).
+
+---
+
+###Progress
+
+####8: Fri Sep 19:
+
+> Modified the ncache so that it now maintains shadow nodes (and directory nodes too, it is a side effect at the moment) alive.
+
+####7: Sat Aug 30 - Fri Sep 5:
+
+> Added the code for shutting down dynamic translator stacks.
+
+####6: Mon Aug 4 - Fri Aug 29:
+
+> Implemented the proxy nodes.
+
+####5: Thu Jul 24 - Thu Jul 24:
+
+> Created a *libnetfs*-based one-node translator, working exactly like the *libtrivfs*-based translator I had written before; the former, however, can be included in a translator stack.
+
+####4: Tue Jul 22 - Thu Jul 24:
+
+> Attempted to make a *libtrivfs*-based translator to be able to be stacked upon itself (to be able to receive a translator on top of itself, more exactly); attempted to borrow some code from *libnetfs* but this didn't bring any results.
+
+####3: Sun Jul 20 - Tue Jul 22:
+
+> Implemented the possibility to propagate a translator on all files belonging to a directory 'dir' in the request of the type 'dir,,x/'.
+
+####2: Thu Jul 17 - Fri Jul 18:
+
+> Extended the lookup code in *nsmux* to allow for looking up nodes like 'file,,x' and added the possibility to escape the double-comma in the following way: ',,,'.
+
+####1: Mon Jul 12 - Tue Jul 13:
+
+> Implemented a simple *libtrivfs*-based translator to test the lookup code for *nsmux*.
+
+####0: Sat Jul 12 - Sat Jul 12:
+
+> Made small changes to the code of *filterfs* to fit the needs of *nsmux*.
+
+---
+
+## Completed Tasks
+
+####2: Sat May 3 - Fri Jul 17:
+
+> Write a translator that should filter the contents of the directory it is set on according to some property. The property can be an arbitrary command.
+
+> The code is at <http://github.com/scolobb/filterfs/tree/master>.
+
+####1: Mon Apr 28 - Wed Apr 30:
+
+> Wrote a Python extension module in C for retreiving the uptime. The module is based on the code of *w*.
+
+####0: Sun Apr 27:
+
+> Followed the code of *dmesgd* (<http://www.bddebian.com/junk/dmesgd/>) kindly offered by **bddebian** and rewrote it from scratch as a tutorial.
