Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I could think of no better place to post this.
My situation (in a nutshell) is this: I would really like to help out with Linux development, but I'm strongly in need of a helping hand to get started (and a target to concentrate on).
I have been staring at kernel code on many ocations, trying to figure out how the whole thing is stitched together, but every time I have failed. So now I'm looking for areas that need a helping hand and are relatively simple to get the hang of. There must be some areas of the kernel that are easier to start with than others, and some of those less dificult areas must be in need of a helping hand. So if someone would please point me in the direction of areas needing help, and would be kind enough to give me an introduction to that area of the kernel then I'd be greatfull.
I know my way around gcc fairly well, but have to this date only done application level programming (except from a few attempts at grasping some of the kernel). So I'm in no way presenting myself as a guru - only as a person who's very willing to learn and help (but needs some help getting started.).
No task is too small (or irrelevant), so just mail me with anything you think a beginner at kernel hacking could get started with.
Best regards Jesper Juhl
