SubjectKernel Config documentation
Date
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.
