I know that cycle has concluded; could you advise on the appropriate contact and format for discussing suitability for a future edition? I maintain MoobFS at StudioMoob in Brazil. It is an experimental native Linux stacked filesystem with ordinary files, typed xattrs and permission-domain metadata queries. The research question concerns tradeoffs among authorization, query completeness, metadata consistency and operational costs compared with alternatives under equivalent access policies. We have a FreeIPA/SSSD pilot and a bounded local paired comparison with a SQLite side-index adapter. Findings include a multi-author completeness limit, cached group membership and query results favoring SQL. Novelty is still under investigation. Development, testing, analysis and writing are AI-assisted, and the kernel code lacks a complete independent human review. Code: https://github.com/studiomoob/llmoobfs Would an evidence-backed discussion of this design question fit the workshop?s early-stage research scope, subject to its normal review? Are there specific policies on AI-assisted artifacts and writing that we should account for when preparing a future submission? This is a scope inquiry, not a paper submission. Thanks, Claudio ?
