  i know i've mentioned previously that i was the technical editor for
the recent (2010) book "linux kernel development (3rd ed)" by robert
love (or just "LKD3") and i'm reviving a project to track all errors,
typoes, updates and miscellany related to that book.  it's all
explained here:

  http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Updates_to_LKD3

and the opening section should be sufficient to explain what i'm
trying to do and how to play along.  so if this project appeals to you
and you have spare time and want to dig into the guts of the kernel
source, get a copy of LKD3 and get to work. :-)

rday

p.s.  i have no financial stake in sales of that book, and i'm not
getting any compensation for this project.  i just want to stay on top
of ongoing changes to the kernel with respect to what's in LKD3 so
that any courseware i develop is guaranteed to be accurate.
