Greg Kroah-Hartman 8a104f8b58 Code of Conduct: Let's revamp it.
The Code of Conflict is not achieving its implicit goal of fostering
civility and the spirit of 'be excellent to each other'.  Explicit
guidelines have demonstrated success in other projects and other areas
of the kernel.

Here is a Code of Conduct statement for the wider kernel.  It is based
on the Contributor Covenant as described at www.contributor-covenant.org

From this point forward, we should abide by these rules in order to help
make the kernel community a welcoming environment to participate in.

Working with the kernel development community
=============================================
So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
trouble.
Below are the essential guides that every developer should read.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
howto
code-of-conduct
development-process
submitting-patches
coding-style
maintainer-pgp-guide
email-clients
kernel-enforcement-statement
kernel-driver-statement
Other guides to the community that are of interest to most developers are:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
changes
submitting-drivers
stable-api-nonsense
management-style
stable-kernel-rules
submit-checklist
kernel-docs
These are some overall technical guides that have been put here for now for
lack of a better place.
