Essay Format

I started working on the main page. The bullets are to be expanded. Other group are are working in their respective discussion pages but I think it's all right to put our work in progress on the front page. Thoughts?--Lmundt 16:14, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

  • Gbint 02:03, 7 October 2010 (UTC) Lmundt; what do you think of listing the capacities of the file system under major features? I was thinking that we could overview the features in brief, then delve into each one individually.
  • --Lmundt 14:31, 7 October 2010 (UTC) I was thinking about the major structure... I like what your suggesting in one section. So here is the structure I am thinking of.
  • Intro
  • Section One ZFS
    • Major feature 1
    • Major feature 2
    • Major feature 3
  • Section Two Legacy File Systems
    • Legacy File System1( FAT32 ) - what it does
    • Legacy File System2( ext2 ) - what it does
    • Contrast them with ZFS
  • Section Three Current File Systems
    • NTFS?
    • ext4?
    • Contrast them with ZFS
  • Section Four future file Systems
    • BTRFS
    • WinFS or ??
    • Contrast them with ZFS
  • Conclusion

What does everyone think of this format? While everyone should contribute to section one we could divvy up the rest.

the wikipedia comparison has some good tables, and if you click the various categories you can learn quite a bit about the various important features //not your group. Rift 18:56, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
