I originally developed FileMan for daily uses. Now I uses it in my
both personal and commercial projects. It is very stable since it just
wraps existing libraries.

FileMan was a very small scoped project. I just wanted to hide
uglyness of FileDirectory. In that point, it fulfills the role. But
since FileMan seems to get some popularity these days, I think it
needs more drastic overhaul (toward FileMan2).

Rio seems to be very promising. Probably we can put our efforts together.
Cheers,
