i was checking out the OE layer index page:
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex
and it seems like the early entry for meta-oe is misleading. if you
check out that git repo, what you get is the meta-openembedded top
level directory, of which meta-oe is just one of a number of
sub-layers (meta-efl, meta-gnome, ..., meta-oe), similar to the
situation with meta-intel.
just an observation.

That's what the "Repo subdir" column is supposed to help with - that indicates
which subdirectory within the repository the layer is in. Git does not really
conveniently allow checking out just a subdirectory so we have to refer to the
top level. That said, I'm happy to have suggestions on how we can improve the
index in this regard.
Cheers,
Paul

ah, got it, i just didn't look closely enough. just an observation
-- meta-openembedded's meta-multimedia and meta-systemd layers don't
appear to be listed on that page. is that a deliberate omission?

It was, since up until recently both of those layers were empty. Thanks for
reminding me though - I have now added them.
Cheers,
