[Qemu-devel] Using the mailing list for asking questions about the source code

[Stefano Bonifazi]

Hi All!
  I am new in QEMU developing and I am not sure if I can use this 
mailing list for asking general questions about QEMU source code as I 
could not find any guidelines about it.
I noticed that, usually, questions about the source code in the QEMU 
forum never receive answers.
Surely the best help I can receive is from you, and it is essential due 
to the lack of good technical documentation, but I don't know if the 
mailing list is only for sharing patches and fixes. In this case I ask 
for an apology for my intrusion, and I'd be very glad of being addressed 
to a proper help.
Best Regards,
Stefano B.

Hi Stefano,

you found this mailing list, so I assume you read everything which is
available on http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page, and you also tried hard
to find the answers to your questions yourself, didn't you?

If there remain concrete questions, you should collect them and
send them to qemu-devel or add them to http://wiki.qemu.org/Talk:Manual
with a remark "missing documentation". Precise questions have a higher
probability to get an answer than abstract ones.

Kind regards,
Stefan W.

Hi!
Thank you for your quick answer! :)
Yes, I've spent many days collecting and studying all possible documents 
about QEMU in the internet.
Unluckily there is much about using it, but few about its code.
The few documents are often old and not updated.
The project is huge and complex and seems very very hard for a student 
to face it all alone.
I am sure that few words from who has spent on it so much time, efforts, 
experience, passion will speed up my work very much :)
  Thank you again! Best regards!
