I've been trying to find more posts like the ones I added on the Design Concepts page -- explanations of musl's implementation of various important features/modules -- but so far I haven't found much. Somewhere we should have a good descriptions of the TLS implementation and the PRNGs. Other things that might have short write-ups somewhere already are smooth sort, crypt (things like the zero-.data approach and limits on rounds), and perhaps malloc. Also, if anyone in the community wants to work on documenting parts of musl that aren't already documented, that would be great. I'm kind of hoping we can turn the developer resources on the wiki into a sort of staging ground for the official documentation. Other general help on the wiki is welcome too. http://wiki.musl-libc.org Rich
