I am trying to get some order to linux raid info.

Help appreciated :)

The list description at
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-raid
does list af FAQ, http://www.linuxdoc.org/FAQ/

Yes, that should be amended. Drop them a line about the FAQ too

So our FAQ info is pretty out of date. I think it would be nice to have
a wiki like we have for the Howto. This would mean that we have much
better means to let new people make their mark, and avoid the problem
that we have today with really outdated info.

There seems to be no point in having separate wikis for the FAQ and HOWTO
elements of documentation. Especially since a lot of FAQs are "How do I"... by
definition the answer is a HOWTO.

So can we put up a wiki somewhere for this, or should we just extend the
wiki howto pages to also include a faq section?

So just extend the existing wiki.

For the howto, I have asked the VGER people to add info to our list
description, that we have a wiki howto at http://linux-raid.osdl.org/

ta.


I set the wiki up at osdl to ensure that if a bus hit me then Neil or others
would have a rational and responsive organisation to go to to change ownership.

I've been writing to some of the other FAQ/Doc organisations sporadically for
over a year now and had no response from any of them. It's a very poor aspect of
OSS...
