| The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers) |
| work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is |
| an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is |
| accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel |
| development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While |
| there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented |
| discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to |
| understand. |
