Dear Linux kernel documentation writers and readers:
Writing Linux documentation is a huge complex collaborative process. To make it better I invite you to contribute to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Linux_Kernel .
And btw, the licenses there are not compatible: Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. Pointing to: CC BY-SA 3.0 IANAL, but, AFAIKT, is not compatible with GPL version 2[1]. [1] at least, there's a comment here: https://github.com/todbot/SoftI2CMaster/issues/14 I didn't read it in full, but it seems to be endorsed by CC people: https://creativecommons.org/2015/10/08/cc-by-sa-4-0-now-one-way-compatible-w... Btw, even if this were using CC BY-SA 4.0, it would still be incompatible with GPL v2, as the one-way compatibility is just with v3. So, porting texts/documents from/to wikibooks can be an issue from legal standpoint. If you want to contribute with Kernel docs, the best way would be to send additions/improvements against the Kernel tree to the linux-doc mailing list.
You have seen this, right?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
which is generated from the kernel repo.
I'm sure Jon has even a grand idea about how to organize our documentation in an even better way.
So it looks like we already have most of the topics and you could probably even generate the wikibook from the kernel documentation. :)
Thx.
Thanks, Mauro
