I don't find them particularly interesting, given that my normal way of finding documentation in the Documentation directory is: find . -type f | xargs grep <keyword> Or, if I have a git tree of the Linux sources handy: git grep <keyword> -- Documentation If folks do find the 00-INDEX files useful, my suggestion would be to make a way of automatically extracting them from the individual files and/or directories, and then making the 00-INDEX files to be automatically generated. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
