I noticed on the wishlist page one of the wishes was that the dynamic loading section of the ELF page be written. While looking over the page I noticed a few inconsistencies but moreover there's some stuff at the bottom that seems to relate specifically to geekos. Does anyone have a problem with me removing the geekos stuff?

I'd like to attempt writing the dynamic loading section. It's been a long time but at one point I knew my way around the ELF pretty well.

Please do. If it helps, my notes on performing dynamic linking on a shared object are at User:Computafreak/DynamicLinking. You will probably want to double-check the assumptions though (particularly with regard to accessing the normal or dynamic string and symbol tables)

I'll leave the geekos stuff in there and start writing some place else. Once I get enough information down I'll let ya'll take a look at it. Might be a while depending on workload.

That kind of intermediate work is best kept in the user namespace (as computafreak did, see his link). That way, should you lose interest, someone else could continue from where you left (instead of all your work collecting dust on your hard drive).

Don't be afraid to put unfinished stuff into the Wiki, especially the user namespace. That's what a Wiki is good for, after all.
