Want to do a project on the kernel ? | There are many ways for people to start out in Linux kernel development. One good place to start is the [http://www.kerneljanitors.org/ Kernel Janitors] project, where you can become familiar with the Linux kernel source tree and development style by making small cleanups and bug fixes all over the tree, together with the other kernel janitors. |

Have a project which can use some help ? | A good next step is to implement small, relatively self contained, features that the Linux kernel needs but have not been implemented yet. When you "take" such a feature, please add your name in the "Developer" column and the date you decided to take the project in the "Date taken" column. |

[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.
