Way back in 2008 we didn't have "robust" in-kernel documentation system, so the idea of putting something like the kernel driver statement in the kernel tree wasn't even imagined. But now that has changed, so add the old document to the kernel source itself to allow for us to properly reference it in one canonical place (as the LF wiki keeps moving things around.) This also will allow people to add their names to it, as I seem to have lost the ability to do that by not knowing how to edit things on the original document.

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.
