A few additions/suggestions for http://kernelnewbies.org

[Hank Leininger <hlein@progressive-comp.com>]

Greets,

Hm, there is something unnatural about #kernelnewbies.  Oh yeah!
There's signal!  Many thanks to all involved in keeping it that way :)

Anyway, I help run the list archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/.
I'm happy that many of our archives are referenced at
http://kernelnewbies.org/mailinglist.php3 :)  I'd like to submit a
couple more:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&r=1&w=2 for linux-mm.  Our
archives go back to November 1997.  [ Hm, looks like Rik van Riel also
has HTMLified archives at http://www.linux-mm.org/mailinglists.shtml ]

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-aio&r=1&w=2 for linux-aio.  I've
just added this, and found only a few old messages on kvack.org; added
them.  [ If anyone knows where I can find other old messages for this
list--I assume it's seen more traffic than just a handful of messages on
Feb 2--then please contact me privately; I'd like to add them. ]

We also have redundant archives of a lot of the other lists mentioned ;)


Also, on the website itself... I think the layout is pretty nice, but
for people who browse with cookie-warnings enabled, getting 10+ cookies
on every page view is pretty annoying :(  I'd like to make a feature
request that the WiD cookies be collapsed into one cookie (per page, or
even better, for the whole site), either something short and not too
humanly meaningful ('FFSHSFF') or longer and more verbose, or whatever,
but just *one* cookie.  And preferably one which only gets set when the
user does something to change away from the defaults.

I'm not much of a php hacker nor do I have a large or predictable amount
of spare time... but I'd be willing to try to implement the above and
submit the changes for consideration rather than just yammering 'gimme',
if others would be interested in it happening.


Lastly, I don't know what merits inclusion on the 'patches' page, but...
I humbly submit some (not-so-well-written, and pretty special-purpose)
kernel patches for system/network hardening:
