Hi Kalle,


I am an undergraduate student in ECE(3rd year) and wish to contribute to linux-wireless
drivers. I am familiar with the kernel development process and have many
patches accepted in the past 2 months with variety of tools used such as
coccinelle,Kasan,smatch,sparse and checkpatch.

I have basic knowledge of Linux kernel internals and competent C skills,
also planning to learn Device Drivers in future.

The wiki page https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/ is not working
correctly, for every page it shows

"This topic does not exist yet
You've followed a link to a topic that doesn't exist yet. If permissions
allow, you may create it by clicking on “Create this page”.
Earlier I used to visit this without any issues, don't know what is the
problem now ?

Also, since I am beginner is there any small project that I could work on
to enhance my knowledge. Please provide me any links to
Documentation/tutorials which I can follow and help the community.
Lastly, I will next year surely apply for GSoC under Linux-wireless and
I don't seem to find any participation since 2012. Also, if there is
any project that someone didn't try and is open then please let me know!

I am really sorry for this direct email to you but nobody helped me on
IRC channel.

Thanks
Himanshu Jha

FWIW, I fixed this - some idiot deleted almost all pages on the wiki.
