LDP is *not* a document author, only a collector

if you do so you will be involved in LDP (nicely)

the logical way is to first read the author part of the HOWTO and
write to the authors. Did somebody do this on the beginning, before
bashing them?
If they don't answer (or agree to let alone the HOWTO), you are free
to take it. If for whatever reason I don't have to judge, they
refuses, you can just inform the discuss list and ask for copying this
HOWTO to the obsolete folder and submit your, with a slightly
different name. However this is probably not to happen.
The worst that usually happen is to have no answer.
So, with the same name or a new one, the best IMHO thing you can do is
to write a very basic raid HOWTO, the sort of thing that *can't*
become obsolete and in it discuss the wiki and give it's URL.
thats all, probably

NB: by the way, is your doc (HOWTO or wiki) speaking of what have to
be done in case the partition table is lost? Is there any special raid
thing about that? I'm author of the partition rescue howto, but don't
know anything of RAID and an update of the howto is on the shelf
thanks
