0021 The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers)
0022 work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is
0023 an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is
0024 accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel
0025 development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While
0026 there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented
0027 discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to
0028 understand.
