Working with the kernel development community
=============================================
So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
trouble.
Below are the essential guides that every developer should read.
.. toctree::

Other guides to the community that are of interest to most developers are:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1

These are some overall technical guides that have been put here for now for
lack of a better place.
