Sorry about that -- I'll ask those who have write access to xfs.org to update the links.

As a general PSA, the wiki is known to be bitrotting. It's impossible to add new editors, for example. It'll eventually probably go away entirely. I've fixed up a couple things Darrick asked me to do, but maybe we should just put a big <blink>THIS WIKI IS BITROTTING</blink> at the top and be done with it. -Eric > --D > >> TL;DR: >> Please make sure the XFS development is more visible by ensuring that most >> prominent references point to the current repository and website. >> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

On the other hand though, I wonder if everything xfs.org currently has, is worth to actually move them to kernel sources. There are a lot of interesting links there (well, the documents itself, not the links), which IMHO are really worth to keep. > > -Eric > > > --D > > > >> TL;DR: > >> Please make sure the XFS development is more visible by ensuring that most > >> prominent references point to the current repository and website. > >> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Carlos ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
