>> 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
