I've noticed a few Config options on both the 2.0.x series and the 2.1.x series kernels that have no documentation available that I'd like to fix.
So, I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there a list of people working on documenting those options. I'd rather not duplicate work, etc.
2) The text for the help seems to come straight from ./Documentation/Configure.help. What are the formatting rules for this file? What delineates one topic from the next and what marks a section as belonging to the option? (Does the CONFIG_ define match the text in the help file?)
3) Are there any tools to make this process easier? Is the text read at run-time, or do I need to force a recompile of, say, the lxdialog code?
4) Alan, is it worth doing anything for the 2.0.x kernel at this point?
5) What else do I need to know?
Thanks.
