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?
