Fwd: Open-ended task In kernel

[sanjeev sharma]

Hello All,

I have started recently in contributing into Linux kernel and
submitted patches in staging directory and now I want to do outside
staging directory specially in main kernel and driver part.Do we have
anything in Linux kernel i.e some specific areas which I can looked
upon.I think we should have some list of open-point where people can
contribute.

If anyone has some information,please share on mailing list so that I
can focus myself in correct direction.

Regards
Sanjeev Sharma

Yes, I know lots of "open ended" tasks in the kernel.

But just because I, or someone else, writes them down doesn't mean that
you will want to do them, or be sucessful at them.

My suggestion always is, "Find something that bothers you, fix it, and
go from there."  And if you can't find a problem with the kernel on your
machine, then you really aren't looking hard enough.

Best of luck,
