Hi Greg, As both of you and I know there are not many young people in the kernel community and the steep learning curve is a big reason for that. I was not sure whether you were joking or not about the comment above so I decided to find that appropriate replacement for staging rtl8723bs. After searching I found this interesting xradio driver, which is a mac80211 based driver for some orange pies and other devices. It is around 18,000 lines of code and upon check it out I fixed bunch of security issues per se and lockups that caused kernel to hang and it is decently stable. I'm not gonna claim some extreme stability but it is at least usable and it has many coding standard issues. It is a good candidate because newcomers would be learning the modern architecture and on top of it there is a lot of janitor work so people can learn the workflow and etc. Link is [1] so you can see for yourself and tell me what you think about it.
