There is now a wiki for Linux networking related activities and documentation.
http://linux-net.osdl.org
This is an experiment to see if it would be more useful to have
an online and editable documentation source rather than bits and pieces.
Also, it should interact well with Wikipedia, since we can link to have
the generic descriptions of things like protocols (TCP, bridging, bonding,
VLAN's,...) and the Linux implementation.
I filled in my stuff, and Acme and Ian have been adding DCCP and
the TODO list.

Nice site. I'll post the sources for the gcc Wikibuilder when I am done
with it and you can use it as well. Wikimedia extensions are
GPL of course.

Why not just work with the existing kernelnewbies wiki:
http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org
instead of creating another site?
thanks,

Having a quick look around and looking at the name in particular I
think they are different target audiences...
If it was kerneloldies.org it might be different ;-)

The fact that it's called "kernelnewbies" doesn't meant it's targetted only
to non-expert people - everybody, including me, you, Linus and all the "core"
kernel hackers are "newbies" WRT to some parts of the kernel. The one thing
that can keep someone being a newbie forever is considering himself an
"expert". In fact you can find some linux kernel "gurus" there...
Also, kernelnewbies is not linux-specific either so there's a chance that even
gurus could learn something interesting (and teach something to others).
Or at least that has always been the intention of the kernelnewbies project.
(That doesn't mean I'm against the linux-net wiki, I just wanted to point out
that kernelnewbies isn't just for "newbies" ;)

Mainly because I started it out for my own linux networking projects,
then generalized it. If you look on kernelnewbies you will see that
there was already an MM wiki.
