For those wondering, os/fsnotify was pushed back to 1.4

That's unfortunate. I looked around this post details why it was pushed: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-dev/bShm2sqbrTY...
Yah, we didn't want to rush it and end up stuck with a subpar package in the standard library.

If you are at GopherCon, I'll be giving a lightning talk on Saturday 11:40am on things I've learned by contributing to fsnotify and other open source projects. Happy to chat more about fsnotify afterwards.

Do you know where their current implementation of this is? I want to mess around with it and dont care if i have to change code later.
The code is identical on GitHub and Google Code right now. The difference is that we may make breaking changes under go.exp while leaving the howeyc/fsnotify API as is.

We're still figuring out what os/fsnotify will look like.

Check this out (make sure you read the README) https://github.com/howeyc/fsnotify
You can find it here : code.google.com/p/go.exp/fsnotify
