+      <p>&os; provides an API for guest OSes to access shared folders on
+	the host OS so that the kernel driver can expose them to the
+	guest's userland.  This project aims to add such functionality to
+	the VirtualBox Guest Additions driver.</p>
+
+      <p>Good progress was made over last few months.  Developers were
+	able to mount a filesystem in read-only mode and, with some
+	limitations, in read-write mode.  The implementation still lacks
+	some critical pieces, but the roadmap is clear.</p>
