  16. The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers)
  17. work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is
  18. an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is
  19. accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel
  20. development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While
  21. there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented
  22. discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to
  23. understand.
