Is it /sourceware/projects/lvm2-home ?

Or more likely /sourceware/something-else/lvm2, which would make e.g. 
rsync bit easier ?

Whatever, I can now start with scripting, and will update as we agree on 
the final locations. Will push to a git repo too, so if there is anyone 
setting another wiki, or cloning and contributing, it could be reused.

Thanks!
