Description

What could be more fun than talking about kernel documentation? Things we
could get into:

  • The state of the RST transition, what remains to be done, whether it's
    all just useless churn that makes the documentation worse, etc.

  • Things we'd like to improve in the documentation toolchain.

  • Overall organization of Documentation/ and moving docs when the need
    arises. It seems I end up fighting about this more than just about
    anything else, but I think it's important to organize our docs for the
    convenience of the people using them.

  • The ultimate vision for kernel docs (for now). RST conversion and
    imposing some organization are important, but they will not,
    themselves, give us a coherent set of documentation. What can we do to
    have documentation that is useful, current, and maintainable, rather
    than the dusty attic we have now?
