Mini-Conference Proposal: olpcfs

One major frustration with the existing datastore implementation is
that is unfriendly to legacy applications: you can't easily use the
command-line to browse through it, and you can't save a file from an
unmodified linux application into the journal.  I propose a filesystem
design, called olpcfs for now, to address this deficiency, and provide
versioning and synchronization mechanisms needed for the
next-generation journal.  It plays nicely with the upgrade mechanisms
and Bitfrost, too!
