I would be willing to help here.  This is my first post, I subscribed
to this list because I *thought* I was going to do some development,
but I've been lazy, and I'm not very experienced with linux device driver
programming. (I have started reading a book on it though.) This would be a
good project for me to get started.

I've read much of the documentation that exists, and I feel that I could
contribute something here.  Also, english is my native language.

What format would you like the final documentation in?  Should it be
plain text?  HTML?  Emacs info files? Anything else?

Should I start documenting the kernel-side driver interfaces?

Thanks,

-Chris
