A good next step is to implement small, relatively self contained, features that the Linux kernel needs but have not been implemented yet.

| [Anonymous Coward] Can someone do an audiocdfs, with all traks being accessible via .au files? [davej] This has been done at least once. Google for 'audiofs'. ---- The [http://www.kerneljanitors.org/ Kernel Janitors] project is a great place to start out, with easy tasks that help you get familiar with the kernel sources. ---- "Compressed Caching" is a new level in the virtual memory hierarchy, where pages are stored in some compressed format, decreasing the number of page faults that are serviced by slow hard disks. We aim to implement this idea in the Linux Kernel. It is mainly developed by Rodrigo S. de Castro. http://linuxcompressed.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxcompressed ---- http://www.Freshsource.org/ allows registering your interest in portions of a source tree. Initially supporting FreeBSD source, then other projects later. |

Projects that could use more help
Another possibility is to get involved with an existing kernel project that needs some help. Since these projects need multiple people, there is no need to claim these.
