Now that I'm actually doing kernel development as my day job (containers
stuff for Parallels), I've taken some time to brush up the old kernel
documentation directory on kernel.org that I theoretically maintain.
It now includes:
1) Web versions of all the documentation I could find in the kernel
source tarball, put on the web where Google can find it. (You can now
link to the help text for menuconfig symbol, or refer to the output of
"make htmldocs" via URL instead of telling people to build it themselves.)
2) Links to a bunch of standards documents applicable to the kernel.
3) Links to a bunch of other web pages containing kernel documentation
(including broken-up copies of all the OLS papers dating back to 2001).
4) Other stuff.
I'm not saying it's complete. I'm just saying I exhumed it, gave it a
good scrub, applied the interocitor to the bolts on its' neck, and sent
it lurching towards the village...
Opinions?
Rob
P.S. Yes I know I still need to index the 2010 Ottawa Linux Symposium
papers. I got 2009 properly indexed, though.

Yes, this is useful.

Very useful if updated. I can now remove some portion of my kernel related
bookmarks.

Thanks. I can set up a cron job, but in reality it looks prettier than
it actually is.
Part of the problem is that "make htmldocs" doesn't reliably build
between about -rc1 and -rc4 or so. It's usually not part of anybody's
regression testing, and when it DOES fail the output is usually crazy
stuff like:
xmlto: /home/landley/linux/linux/Documentation/DocBook/80211.xml does
not validate (status 3)

Which means what, exactly? (That particular example was from last week,
it's been fixed since upstream. I added --skip-validation to my xmlto
invocation because more stuff built. There are still two blank entries
in http://kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/ are because their builds broke. I
should pull and run it again and see if those build now...)
Oh, another fun thing is that my Documentation index is created from the
00-INDEX files when those exist, and there's usually version skew
between that file and the directory contents.
I have a http://kernel.org/doc/make/doclinkcheck.py which finds the
files it lists which don't exist and the files which exist but aren't
listed. The current list of files 00-INDEX says exist, but aren't at
that location, is:
404 errors:
Documentation/time_interpolators.txt
Documentation/voyager.txt
Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt
Documentation/powerpc/mpc52xx-device-tree-bindings.txt

Documentation/s390/zfcpdump
The list of files which exist but aren't in a 00-INDEX is crazy long so
I won't post it here. (I can if you're interested...)
I'll probably get around to chipping away at some of that, but first I
need to do a proper 2010 OLS paper index. (And that's just a
chronological index. A _topic_ index is a huge undertaking. I did a
quick search for the NFS guys last night and came up with 7 papers, and
I haven't even checked 2010 yet. I'm only even considering an OLS paper
topic index because I'd only have to _update_ it once a year, so the
work involved is at least finite...)

There also have many doc located in Documentation directory, but not
in 00-INDEX file, like
apparmor.txt
bad_memory.txt
braille-console.txt
bt8xxgpio.txt
circular-buffers.txt
coccinelle.txt
credentials.txt
debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
devicetree/
dmaengine.txt
dynamic-debug-howto.txt
email-clients.txt
flexible-arrays.txt
futex-requeue-pi.txt
gcov.txt
...
Also there have some entry not list as alphabetical order.

My script lists those as well: it finds a little over 1100 of them,
which is why I didn't post the list. (Here it is gzipped and attached.)
But that's also listing files for directories that have no 00-INDEX, so
I should probably filter that better...
Is alphabetical order a requirement?

Hmm, not sure..., The header of 00-INDEX is like this:
>>>>
This is a brief list of all the files in ./linux/Documentation and what
they contain. If you add a documentation file, please list it here in
alphabetical order as well, or risk being hunted down like a rabid dog.
Please try and keep the descriptions small enough to fit on one line.

Gah, I screwed this one up. All the other 00-INDEX files list
themselves as the first entry, ala:

See?
(This broke my index.html generator script, which uses the 00-INDEX line
to split "header info that does not contain files you link to" from
"alternating file/description lines" which come after it. Yes, I broke
my own script.)
Sorry I didn't catch this quickly, I had to get on a plane and come to
Scale. (Handing out flyers at the OpenVZ booth.)
Let me know if you want a replacement patch or a patch on top of this one.
Thanks,
Rob

Here you go:

The device tree infrastructure is being genericized so its documentation moved
out of the PowerPC directory.
