An observation that may just mean I haven't stumbled upon it yet is that it would be nice to... stumble upon... a list of kernel problems that *kernelnewbies* could cut their teeth on. I do understand that this is a naive wish list item due to the nearly every nanosecond changing complexity of things. :)Such a thing existed 10 or 15 years ago. Unfortunately for the newbies, there are very few problems that newbies can attack, because if they were that simple, somebody would already have *done* them.Not really, please look at drivers/staging/*/TODO there are loads of simple things left to do, with more being added all the time (a huge new wireless driver just landed that could use lots of cleanups.)
Which wireless driver exactly? -Umair
