Could you tell me who "we" is? All the other entries have an identity
associated with them.

Christian Zoffoli (xmerlin@g.o) is our high-availability maintainer, so
if you're looking for more packages or enhancements to existing
packages, contact him. If you'd like to contribute documentation, I'm
the right guy. If there's anything else you can think of, go ahead and ask.

We used to have some documentation floating around, but it never got put
on the Gentoo site and converted to GuideXML. I think there was a
filesystem selection guide and a Heartbeat/DRBD howto, maybe something
else. I'm poking the author to see whether he can dig them up.

There's also some decent documentation in the works at gentoo-wiki.com [1].

Thanks,
Donnie
