So, where does one find instructions on working with linux-next now?
It would be good to have the basics as part of that mail, or a
pointer to some location where the basics are described.
Currently, one has to hunt a little bit to find something like
http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2012-April/005178.html
It would be good if that info was either part of the template mail
or at a stable URL whose content is kept up to date. (I'm willing to 
write and host such a page, if for some reason you don't want to,
but I'd like someone to confirm it's accurate.)

Cheers,

Michael
