However I need to be sure that something like this is welcome at all: 1) Is Linux kernel meant to be a separate project or is it a subproject of GNU/Linux, Debian, Fedora, SuSE or whatever? 2) Is Linux kernel meant to be used by general public, or is it intended only for developpers of GNU/Linux, Debian, Fedora, SuSE etc.? 3) Is Linux kernel meant to have a specification and just a lack of time prevented it, or is Linux kernel meant to not have a specification? 4) If I produce a specification that is valid, correct and complete enough to be useful for general public, will it be included on the Linux kernel homepage http://www.kernel.org under a link "Linux kernel official specification" upon my request?
