Do you have any idea as to a time frame for when you might be able to get to it (Single instance Storage)? Are you thinking post v2.0? Even 2.1 or 3.0?
Right now I just want to get v1.1 finished. The main problem with it is that apparently in some installations it's slower than v1.0 and I haven't yet figured out why. And I want Squat rewrite to be included in it too (almost finished! just committed it to hg).
After v1.1 I'm not sure. I'm more interested in implementing other features first (like v2.0's config rewrite, replication, etc.), but once I'm beginning to run out of money I'll start doing pretty much anything people pay me to do ;)
Heh - understood... I'll talk to my boss, but he's - well, to put it politely, its a bit difficult to get money out of him...
Actually, I'm looking into some form of file-system level de-duplication, which may negate the need for this...
Anyone know of anything available on the cheap/free side?
