Yes kernel fans, it's Gary's nag-the-kernel-list time once again. November 1 is "Dia de Muertos", the Day of the Dead, the time for visiting tombstones and honouring our ancestors. A time when the dead and gone can live through the words and deeds of the living. The November 2000 KernelWiki Challenge is ... "The _____ in the _____ subsystem implements the old _____." 1) Fill in the blanks, short and sweet, in your own words. 2) Go to http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki/?KernelWiki and find the KernelWiki page covering your area of expertise. 3) Click the "Edit this Page" link 4) Plunk your November KernelWiki response into the text box. 5) Click "Save" and get back to your happy hacking. It's painless. All I want is 10 minutes of your time. You know you know the answers, and if you don't, you know the proper questions to ask. I don't know how I can make it any easier. 10 minutes, 15 tops. It takes longer to flame me for nagging, and contributing is more positive. No excuses. _Everyone_ has that kind of time to spare for Linux documentation. There are hundreds of competent engineers active on this list. One day's worth of our collective linux-kernel effort, focused precisely on illuminating some part of the code, would complete several chapters of text. A week's worth would fill a thousand pages. What do you win? Do it right, and you might cause that "transmission of light" which nets you assistance in your kernel hacking. What goes around, comes around. 'Karma' means 'action'. WARNING: I am going to persist in nagging you to participate, but no more than once a month ;) Chide me, ignore me, put me in your kill file if you will but the KernelWiki _is_ working. KernelWiki is a smash hit. KernelWiki is an overnight success. KernelWiki has exceeded all expectations. KernelWiki is the latest craze, the subject of folk songs and Paris fashions. Be the first in your network segment to KernelWiki! If you have more than 15 minutes to spare and you are interested in what it is that I'm up to with this KernelWiki thing, you are invited to read http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki/?KernelWikiWhy http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki/?KernelWikiPolicies http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki/?HowToUseWiki The diligent are invited to cruise KernelWiki for question marks and click the mark to describe the undefined term. KernelWiki depends on your kind contributions.
