| 21 | The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers)
|
| 22 | work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is
|
| 23 | an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is
|
| 24 | accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel
|
| 25 | development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While
|
| 26 | there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented
|
| 27 | discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to
|
| 28 | understand.
