Subject: [patch] man-pages is supported
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:36:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4857A1C7.10100@gmail.com> (raw)

Andrew,

Could you please apply the following.

Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a paid,
full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux Foundation.  It's
still a little unclear how long the LF money will last for the fellowship, but
for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:

* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API, and
every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally before
actual release.  (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a backlog, so I'm not
going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the mainline
kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at it (e.g., the
recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done before
they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for existing
man pages.

Cheers,

Michael
