 # BrowserFS
 BrowserFS is an in-browser file system that emulates the [Node JS file system API](http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) and supports storing and retrieving files from various backends. BrowserFS also integrates nicely into the Emscripten file system.

+# DEPRECATION AND FORK NOTICE
+
+Hey there, this is the current maintainer of BrowserFS.
+
+I've been working on BrowserFS for over a year now, and have made some big improvements.
+
+A few months ago, I began seperating some backends from BrowserFS to be placed into different packages. Along with this, I created the browser-fs organization on Github and the browserfs organization on NPM. I made new organizations to keep the repositories and packages organized. Another reason I did so was because John Vilk, the original author of the project, no longer had the time to administer the project. This means at the time of writing this, I still do not have access to the NPM package.
+
+I feel that now, the project has changed so significantly it is no longer the same BrowserFS. Even the name, *Browser*FS, implies it is meant for browsers, which it has outgrown. For that reason, I think that the project should be something new, but still carry the legacy of BrowserFS. I've decided to call it **ZenFS**, since a core goal of mine is ease of use and peace of mind.
+
+In a letter to Robert Hooke in 1675, Isaac Newton famously wrote "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". This is most certainly true in the case of ZenFS. Without the creation of BrowserFS, I would not have found it and been amazed at a complete file system in Typescript/Javascript.
+
+I would like to extend my deepest thanks to Dr. Emery Berger. Shortly after submitting my first pull request to BrowserFS, I reached out about becoming a maintainer of the project. Dr. Berger welcomed my maintainership of the project, and greatly helped in some other matters.
+
+Thank you very much to the community for helping me with this project by submitting issues and pull requests.
+
+The NPM organization `browserfs` has had all of its packages deprecated, with a message pointing to the new package as well as this notice. All of the versions published under `@browserfs` have also been published under `@zenfs`.
+
+I hope that ZenFS can continue the legacy of BrowserFS, and can reach the same popularity and reliability.
+
+Until next time,  
+**James P.**
