Yep, here! I would need it for simple file sharing. I had a very brief look 
and think it shouldn't be too hard to get it working. The hard part is 
getting it right, but this all depends on the requirements. Samba needs to 
be much more compliant as it aims on higher goals.
I can't say how much time I can devote to it the next weeks, but I'm 
definitely interested and able to test and implement things.
