For those not familiar with FUSE, it means Filesystem in User Space. FUSE allows someone to implement a filesystem using the built-in API instead of having to write complex software to achieve the same goal. This should open up a lot of interesting possibilities such as a read/write FTP filesystem, or even a Gmail interface for browsing attachments as if they were local files. From the announcement: FUSE makes it possible to implement a very functional file system in a normal program rather than requiring a complex addition to the operating system. More importantly, the FUSE API is very easy to program for. The large number of interesting and/or useful FUSE file systems out there is a testament to this. An often-cited example of such a useful file system is sshfs, which until now was not available on Mac OS X.
