Welcome to the new home for all things WD MyBook WE

Hi all

I have been loitering on a few forums related to the above product and had trouble locating all the disparate bits of information scattered over the web at the moment. On the WD forum a few people have expressed an interest in having a wi-ki where we can hold all the information and contribute to making the most of the device so here it is. I am not going to be able to offer much in the way of hacks and mods myself as my linux knowledge is minimal but figure that hopefully if I start this then it may spark the clever ones among us to action and I may get to learn a bit along the way.

Presently I am the only admin on the site and please e-mail me if you want to help out as I am struggling for time and knowledge as it is. The more the merrier and hopefully this will stimulate the collective brain to provide a nice one stop location for improvements and changes to the WDMBWE.

Finally I think we need a slightly better acronym than WDMBWE but I can't come up with anything … suggestions on a postcard please.
