Is that possible? Just like C has a main() wiki's have a Main Page :) I guess it could be changed but I think it involves editing the Mediawi= ki config - maybe next time I'm in there... > And then, how do we structure the pages?

Bear in mind that this is a reference work and whilst it m= ay contain tutorials the idea is that it contains (reasonably) authoritati= ve information about the linux raid subsystem (linking to the source, kern= el docs or man pages if that's more appropriate). > 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 p= age. The relationship is loose - the statement as it stands describes the cu= rrent state of affairs. If Neil feels that he could or would like to help the= case by declaring a more official relationship then that's his call.

I'm not an expert at gaming the search engines - more than happy to do = rational things like linking from Wikipedia and other reference sites. I am sad that I've had such a poor response from the other linux docume= ntation sites... maybe a Slashdot article not so much about doc-rot but about t= he difficulty of combating doc-rot would help... Maybe they'd take more notice if I said "the linux raid subsystem maint= ainer says..." - dunno.
