Any plans to include this content in kernelnewbies.org?  It seems
like tutorials on kernel programming should be linked from there.

  at the risk of putting a few noses out of joint, a main reason why
i'm not keen on adding more content to kernelnewbies is that what's
there is, in many cases, spectacularly out of date, and newer content
would just get lost in the shuffle.

  consider the links here:

http://kernelnewbies.org/Documents

follow some of those links and see where you end up.  i mean,
seriously, "working with the kernel source in CVS"??  and a number of
other links there have very little remaining value.

  rather than trying to add more content, a higher priority would be
to *cleanse* that documentation page of what obviously has little
value, and start over.  thoughts?

That is pretty much state of most documentation about kernel. Most of text

on drivers is not updated to the point that some of it wont even compile
and links are broken. There is a lot of development and very little updated
documentation.
