I wanted to get into kernel development and a couple weeks ago I checked out Kernel Newbies. I was excited to see a list of projects that "Computer Science students" could work on -- that was me. That list has projects from 2007-2009.
I've always wanted to get into the kernel a bit more, but it can be difficult if you're not already familiar with the codebase and architecture, so it can be difficult to get started. This seems like a great way to get some initial familiarity - too bad it's (apparently) defunct.
I still miss Kerneltrap though.
Linux is a huge program developed by tons of people over decades with limited focus on docs in the past and high code turnover today. Getting useful information about it is just hard.
