One Line Summary

Lots is happening with kernel documentation; here's a summary of where we are and how you can help.

Abstract

The kernel project has not always been renowned for the quality of its documentation. Recently, though, efforts to improve the state of things have picked up. We are moving to a new documentation system and trying to bring some order to the messy Documentation/ directory. This talk will cover our vision of what we would like kernel documentation to be, how we are getting there, and how interested people can help.
