modular kernel
Hello
Some days ago, I read about the idea of a completely modular kernel. I think it's a very good idea, because it would make it easier to get more people work at the same moment, development would go faster. It would be possible to make groups for a certain part of the kernel (for example sound, or filesystems, or main) with own group pages with status info and todo's and own mailinglists (it would divide this enourmous flow of mail into smaller parts). It would decrease the download size. I believe it would make bug tracking easier as well. I'm sure I forgot to mention something..
Regards,
Taco Witte

Looks like the beginning of a new flame war.

Yep. About a very old bone, to boot.
Please go *read* what was said on the list before and refrain from posting on the subject.

I contend that the barrier to entry is already quite low, as proven by the fact that *I* contribute to kernel development, albeit rather little. What evidence do you have to the contrary?

Run the following command in the Linux source directory:
grep '^[LW]:' MAINTAINERS | sort -u | more
Then come back with your hot new ideas about having different mailing lists and web pages for each subsystem.
