• Welcome Utkarsh!

  Yes, it has been a long long time since the last glimmer of activity on the Kernelbook project, but I'm happy to announce a new hope for rekindling the project: As of today, the project keys will be handed over to Utkarsh Sinha. Utkarsh is a long-time Linux tech and programmer and really understands the value and necessity for detailed architectural documentation of the Linux kernel. I hope you will all welcome and support him in this mammoth task, and I look forward to seeing the Kernelbook grow into the standard open reference it was meant to be.

• October Kernelbook Status

  This is really quite amazing: I just browsed the stats page for the kernelbook, and I don't know what happened in April 2001, but this site has seen a consistent 400 page views a day ever since, giving it a SourceForge rating above 60%. What's a little frustrating about this is that the authorship of the kernelbook is stalled. We own the copyright now, we can freely release it under whatever open source license we choose, but while I still get two or three inquiries a week asking about the project status, we don't see any offers to write. The stats show there is a demand for this text, and the downloads show a desperate demand. Unfortunately, I'm largely out of the Linux space these days and can't devote the time to create the manuscript myself, I can barely find time to manage the SF site. Anyone want to volunteer to help out, become unimaginably famous and do a great service to the kernel hacker-wannabees?

• kernelbook status for May 2001

  I have received a release from Macmillan formalizing their departure from the project and releasing the copyright of the work to me. This means I am free to do as I wish with the work, and my immediate wish is to convert the kernelbook to a pure free license. As of May 12, 2001, the Kernelbook will be governed by the pure, no-options Open Publishing License and the copyright will fall to Teledynamics Communications Inc (my company). This is an interim assignment until I have the documents transfered to a more common open license (such as the GNU Free Document License) and have the copyright transfered to some neutral agency, perhaps the FSF, or the LDP (probably the latter).

• Kernel Wiki: Public Collaborative Writing Environment

  I have just added the Kernel Documentation WikiWiki to the Kernelbook website. For those who have not used a WikiWiki before (WikiWiki is the Hawaiian word for "quick") it is an ultra-fast method for compiling knowledge into a dialog. It's somewhat like a FAQ-o-matic, only it is so simple, real people can actually use it. So please do ;) http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki There's not much meat on it, but I had to start somewhere; The current map uses the KernelBook TOC as a rough framework to organize contributions. This is only a starting point: Being a Wiki, it can go any way it needs to go. Everyone is welcome to participate. All material on the Wiki will be covered under the strictly free Open Content license.
