Are you going to work on the docs only ?
Could you imagine to go over the web-pages ?

Yeah, everything should be done.

It's just a matter of time;-)

Personally I do not like CMS' or wikis, but I can live with it. Content 
should be brought to an actual state, but I will not touch the structure.

Priorities:
- man pages (very high)
- HOWTO (high)
- web (medium - high)
- docbook.sgml -> docbook.xml (low)
- german translation (low)

Problems to discuss:
1) The pt and jp versions are outdated.
    We should either remove them from 0.7.x or include a "NOTE: This
    translation is outdated. Feel free to improve it."
2) Can I take some useful parts of text from Linbit, LGE and LMB?
    Appropriate references would be included.

the moinmoin wiki is nice, it is all plain files. one can take it
offline (or readonly), and grep/sed/perl/mv/cp the content, if one knows
...

and you already did a great job on those so far.

agreed to your priorities.

I already removed them from drbd/trunk, which is 0.8-pre1.

sure. well, I did not do much beyond the DRBD pages in the HA wiki
and the drbd article in the linux mag. you know the urls:
http://wiki.trick.ca/linux-ha/DRBD
http://www.drbd.org/publications.html

or was it something else that you had in mind?

Sure. Glad to see that apparently at least parts of it are useful ;-)

I will remove the "Implementation" pages completely. 
And as Alan pointed out, we should mention the "intelligent mirroring"
think already on the "Start" page.

removed from 0.8, either way ok for 0.7.5

Of course (for LINBIT texts)

PS: Some of the pages are still in the "I" form, that should definitely
    go away.
