Chris and Colin,

Is it possible to give more details on this review process?

What are the issues?  How does it relate to the Pharo version which is
a fork of this work?

Can the Pharo FileSystem tutorial be reused? To which extent?

Sure.

There are a few bugs that I've been meaning to sort out before making
a release. The main one is that (I think) there are circumstances
where paths could be passed to the OS with the wrong encoding.

This is pretty close to the Pharo version, I think. I did a sync with
the Pharo team as they were getting ready to introduce FS to Pharo; I
merged in their work and sent them my latest work. They may have made
further changes since then, but nothing major, I don't think.

Yup. AFAICT, that's completely applicable.
