From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2017 12:39:36 -0600 From: Jonathan Corbet To: ksummit-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org Message-ID: <20170623123936.42dab05f@lwn.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: [Ksummit-discuss] [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT] Documentation issues List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , The docs pull for 4.13 will include the conversion of the last DocBook template files, thanks mostly to Mauro. That's the good news; the bad news is that I get to explain a lot of merge conflicts to Linus, most of which result from other trees reaching into Documentation/ and changing files that have been converted. I can continue in this mode, but I do wonder if there's a better way out there somewhere. So I think there would be value in a session on the maintenance of "subsystems" that don't fit neatly into the kernel source-tree hierarchy. We could also talk about the state of the RST conversion and whether/how we'd like it to continue. Perhaps we would rather, as Peter recently suggested, "just delete all that nonsense and go back to 80 column 7bit ASCII"? In general, what do the maintainers want from the documentation subsystem, and how can we make it easy to continue improving our docs? jon
