According to the 2007 road map published at the AFS workshop in May
2007, it is a project in need of support. The read-only estimate is 2
developer-weeks. The read/write estimate is 6-7 developer weeks.

See

The OpenAfs project is always looking for more support in the form of
volunteers or money.

If anyone has any more info, please speak up.

Sincerely,
Jason
