I'm all for it. I would love to take advantage of it. It's just that when Documentation/ was first handed over I devoted a weekend to getting my kernel.org account reset (after last year's break-in disabled everything and introduced a new layer of bureaucracy), and at the end of it had made exactly zero progress. They switched from providing shell access to some handcrafted git-only filter that prevented me from updating kernel.org/doc, and I needed a pgp key with signatures from people with existing kernel.org accounts (people listed in MAINTAINERS wasn't good enough), when the last in-person event I attended was 2010. This is _my_ problem not yours, and since then I've made some progress on it. It's just... got me off to a slow start. To be honest, I've been funneling stuff through trivial@xxxxxxxxxx since the nice maintainer there was kind enough to host things in a way Linus will pull. But the big cleanups (collating the translations under a common directory, collating the architectures under a common directory) require me to have a git tree with the appropriate magic blessing sucked into linux-next, so... > rday Rob -- GNU/Linux isn't: Linux=GPLv2, GNU=GPLv3+, they can't share code.
