OK, so let's have a combined howto and faq. I would then like that to be reflected in the main page. I would rather that this be called "Howto and FAQ - Linux raid" than "Main Page - Linux Raid". Is that possible? And then, how do we structure the pages? I think we need a new section for the FAQ.=20 And then I would like a clearer statement on the relation between the linux-raid mailing list and the pages, right in the top of the main pag= e. > 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. >=20 > I've been writing to some of the other FAQ/Doc organisations sporadic= ally for > over a year now and had no response from any of them.

So that is not that bad. Still, Google has the http://linux-raid.osdl.org/ page as number 127. That is very bad. Maybe something about it being referenced from wikipedia?
