First impression: nice idea

Second impression: too complex (entangled and slightly confusing mix)


Suggestion: make it simpler by divide & conquer, e.g. make two or more 
pictures. Putting everything into one picture is too much, let people learn 
little-by-little, based on concepts.

For example, make a picture with only the way of a patch towards Linus.

Patch flow in a picture should be structured, linear. Not circular. 
Suggestion: make it from top-to-bottom. And not start in the middle of the 
picture.

Also, put names towards below the pictures. Who knows the face of of Linville? 
Only insiders. But "outsiders" (like me) have to scroll down to the text 
description, then up again ... not nice.




Also, the text list below the picture starts with Linus, then comes Stephen. 
It should sorted differently. As the scope of this page is about wireless 
patches, everything (pic & text) should start at John W.
