Just to add one thought. There is some additional manpower out here, but.... As the linux "system" has grown more complex, the gap in knowledge between the developers and the users has grown. Consider a bug troubling me at the moment: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163417 Bug 163417 basically says that the required /dev/hdd4 device node for an IDE/ATAPI ZIP drive is not being created automatically, resulting in some difficulty mounting the drive. I can spend "some" time on better identifying the cause of this drive. I have "some" background in the technologies to debug such a problem. I made a search for documentation which would outline the general way the kernel/driver/udev/ hal/ etc. system should work. Found lots of stuff on why udev was good. But nothing that said overall, architecturally, this is the way nodes should get created for partitions for a "removable floppy" with partitions. Unfortunately, my "some background" is not sufficient to "read the source". My thought is that a little tradeoff between development and documentation time (a little more of the latter) would result in a greater pool of people providing useful information that more quickly resolves some of the bugs troubling the linux system. Just my own thought. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
