At the moment, there's 219 people in there, including several fairly
well-known kernel hackers. Wander by - just remember that most of us
have day jobs and it may take 10-15 minutes for us to notice a question.

Oh, and read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html first - in
particular, I estimate that somewhere north of 80% of people have questions
of the form "I can't get API A to do X" - when it turns out that the
problem they're trying to solve by using A to do X is better addressed
by using API B to do Y instead.

(And we reserve the right to mock your professor mercilessly if he's assigned
a stupid project that's against basic Linux design principles ;)
