What am I seeing? The front page hasn't been updated since May 2010.

I wanted to get into kernel development and a couple weeks ago I checked out Kernel Newbies. I was excited to see a list of projects that "Computer Science students" could work on -- that was me. That list has projects from 2007-2009.

I agree - this is a great idea, but not very helpful if it's that far out of date.

I've always wanted to get into the kernel a bit more, but it can be difficult if you're not already familiar with the codebase and architecture, so it can be difficult to get started. This seems like a great way to get some initial familiarity - too bad it's (apparently) defunct.

Also interested. Anyone know of a replacement?

Hidden gem on this site is the http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges page...

Indeed, Kernel Newbies and LWN both provide very good summaries of the user-visible changes in each new kernel release.

There's a few gems here, like this page that describes when certain synchronization techniques are appropriate.
