Greg Kroah-Hartman 79dbeed36f Code of Conduct Interpretation: Add document explaining how the Code of Conduct is to be interpreted
The Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct is a general document meant to
provide a set of rules for almost any open source community.  Every
open-source community is unique and the Linux kernel is no exception.
Because of this, this document describes how we in the Linux kernel
community will interpret it.  We also do not expect this interpretation
to be static over time, and will adjust it as needed.

This document was created with the input and feedback of the TAB as well
as many current kernel maintainers.

Working with the kernel development community
=============================================
So you want to be a Linux kernel developer? Welcome! While there is a lot
to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
to learn about how our community works. Reading these documents will make
it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
trouble.
Below are the essential guides that every developer should read.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
howto
code-of-conduct
code-of-conduct-interpretation
development-process
submitting-patches
coding-style
maintainer-pgp-guide
email-clients
kernel-enforcement-statement
kernel-driver-statement
Other guides to the community that are of interest to most developers are:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
changes
submitting-drivers
stable-api-nonsense
management-style
stable-kernel-rules
submit-checklist
kernel-docs
These are some overall technical guides that have been put here for now for
lack of a better place.
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
applying-patches
adding-syscalls
magic-number
volatile-considered-harmful
clang-format
.. only:: subproject and html
