Kernel janitors discussion list
Hi, I came across the Kernel Janitors page for beginners looking to contribute. The TODO list under kernel janitors guides you on what could be done rather than specifically discussing any issues. So I wanted to know if there is any discussion list on what tasks are waiting to be completed. Thank you, Hemanth ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
