wiki, new wiki, opensfs wiki, HPDD wiki, old CVS "lustre-doc" repo, etc).<br>
Just getting those into a central location would be a good start.<br>
<br>
Obviously many of those documents are outdated, but I think even those<br>
would be valuable as long as it is clear at the top of the document what<br>
state it is in (e.g. having the date of origin and a description of the<br>
status like obsolete, stale, useful, up-to-date, etc).<br>
<br>
I think Richard has been uploading some of our more recent design docs to<br>
the new wiki, so that would be as good a place to start as any.<br>
