Btw, one constant problem that we have had in kernel janitors is that the TODO list gets outdated. I have started tagging my emails if I want to record something in a TODO list. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/184 http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/ksummit-discuss/2014-May/000690.html I can do a: `grepmail ^TODO-list inbox` to see my todo list. Anyone can add stuff to it. Eventually, I'm hoping someone will put the TODO list on a webpage, but for now if you want to subscribe to driver-devel then that's where there are the most TODO items. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
