Wiki suggestions
Hi,
I hope it's not out of place, but I have a few suggestions for the Wiki:
- The presentation "NYLUG Presents: Chris Mason on Btrfs (May 14th 2015)" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3QRWUfBua8 would make a nice addition to the "Articles, presentations, podcasts" section.
- The same goes for "Why you should consider using btrfs ... like Google does." at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DplcPrQjvA.
- coreutils 8.24 was released early this month:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils-announce/2015-07/msg00000.html.
- While I'm at it: "hilights" should be "highlights" in the btrfs-progs 4.1.1 news entry.
- The Linux v4.1 news entry is still TBD ;-) .
Greetings

I hope it's not out of place, but I have a few suggestions for the Wiki:
Just in case it wasn't obvious... The wiki is open to user editing. You can, if you like, get an account and make the changes yourself. =:^)
Of course, it's understandable if your reaction to web and wiki technologies is similar to mine, newsgroups and mailing lists (in my case via gmane.org's list2news service, so they too are presented as newsgroups) are your primary domain, and you tend to treat the web as read-only so rarely reply on a web forum, let alone edit a wiki. I've never gotten a wiki account here for that reason, either, or I'd have probably gone ahead and made the suggested changes...
But with a bit of luck someone with an existing (or even new) account will be along to make the changes...

It's partially a "read-only" habit, but it's also that I'm just not confident in deciding whether those actually *are* good suggestions, or put differently:
it's the public face of btrfs, and I don't want to accidentally do something to "ruin" it (to use some hyperbole).
However, if somebody gives me the go-ahead, I might just edit the wiki myself (though I don't know enough to be able to edit the kernel news entry ;-) ).

All your suggesstions are good, adding more articles/videos/talks should be easy as there's a section for that already. The news section is mostly written by me but if you keep your entries consistent with the rest then it's ok.
There are a few people who watch over new wiki edits and fix/enhance them if needed. You can't do too much damage unless you really want to.

OK, I'll make the changes then (sans kernel log).

Just a heads up: I accepted the terms of service, but the link goes to a non-existent wiki page.

I have reported that to kernel.org admins some time ago (02/2014), but the ticket is still open. I'll ping it.
