Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Documentation: process: Clean up grammar, tone,
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 15:43:58 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902084430.17248-1-ducthinh100812@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch series performs a thorough pass across several files
in the Linux kernel process documentation directory. The primary focus
is to improve readability and maintain a professional tone throughout
the guides for a global developer audience.
Core changes include:
- Expanding conversational contractions (e.g., "don't" to "do not").
- Rectifying minor punctuation oversights and grammatical typos.
- Standardizing terminology formatting to elevate professional voice.
Extra notes:
- I originally intended to send a 12-patch series to cover the whole
directory, but decided to scale it back to these 5 high-quality
patches to ensure thorough accuracy and a manageable review cycle.
Also I want to know the current progress of the patch titled
"Capitalize Git, Quilt, and Mercurial consistently".
And I would like to thank everyone for welcoming me to the community
and I hope everyone can forgive me for my mistakes in the past,
present, and in the future.
v2:
- Resending the complete 5-patch series together as a single cohesive
thread. (Apologies, the v1 submission suffered a terminal wildcard
argument error that accidentally truncated the transmission
after 1/5).
