Documentation/process: update FUSE project website (2018-03-29 15:49:18 -0600)
----------------------------------------------------------------
There's been a fair amount of activity in Documentation/ this time around:
- Lots of work aligning Documentation/ABI with reality, done by Aishwarya
Pant.
- The trace documentation has been converted to RST by Changbin Du
- I thrashed up kernel-doc to deal with a parsing issue and to try to make
the code more readable. It's still a 20+-year-old Perl hack, though.
- Lots of other updates, typo fixes, and more.
Expect some annoying merge conflicts with ftrace - changes in
Documentation/trace were made independently of the RST conversion.
Probably the conversion should have gone through that tree as well, in
retrospect. The resolution in linux-next seems good.
