That's great.

Now the only issue is getting Webbink to make the assignment. Until then 
you can't get the assignment from Ferenc Havasi (unless you and he don't 
mind him assigning to eCosCentric first, and we'll assign to the FSF later 
as with all the other eCos contribs currently). The reason is that the FSF 
won't accept any other assignments until it's officially adopted, which 
won't happen till the RH copyright is assigned.

I suppose it might be an opportunity for you to fire an e-mail off to 
Webbink reminding/confirming that JFFS2 can be included and asking about 
the status, because we've heard "very soon now" from Webbink for months! 
It's now 8 months since the original announcement.
