OK. Have (essentially) setup local-tracking (here) of said content
(todo: perh entire wiki) as a sort-of remote-branch.

So, now it's a matter of setting up some sort of efficient 'push';
for, editing the wiki directly via its gui via a web-browser login,
is a bit too donkey-like.


But either way, yes, a login would be useful, thanks; and yes, is for
responsible, careful, co-operative usage, only.


As noted earlier, imho clfs-embedded should have at least one of the
bootloaders as an integral part of the book.
