New User - several issues

First of all I'd like to say hello, and thank you.
I've been using Linux off and on since the first slackware, was a long time usenix user and remember linus' post on comp.os.minux announcing his plans. At the time I figured "why bother?" as I was waiting for Hurd.... Hah! He knew what he was doing,

I've recently installed several different distros and found that regardless of the issue I was having, the best google search results always led to an Arch Wiki, so I decided to install Arch.

That said, beginning with /arch/setup, I've had several issues, some with apps (aif) and a few with Wikis.

I want to know how I can either find the right person to write to (aif) and how to go about either correcting a wiki, or making suggestion to author?

Is there a master list of the various maintainers or do I have to go through man pages, articles, etc to find the right person

At present I have two installations, laptop and desktop, both SSD
Laptop has a fully encrypted disk, LVM on top of that, /boot on USB separate logical volumes for most filesystems, including /usr (my first Arch issue).

Hello Brian!

Mailing lists: http://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/

Find out more about the maintainer or developer: pacman -Si $PACKAGENAME (there usually is a source link and the name and mail adress of the package maintainer).

Edit the wiki:
- Create an account
- Read the rules and guidelines
- Make sure you know what you're doing
- If you're not sure, use the discussion site
- If you think you got it right, edit the Wiki
