Hi all,

i went through the initial patch Daniele Venzano thankfully provided for the
CAN-BCM socket. That patch may be about 30% of the final BCM description.

The current documentation amount looks like this:

$ wc -l bcmdoc.patch
180 bcmdoc.patch
$ wc -l socketcan/trunk/kernel/2.6/Documentation/networking/can.txt
858 socketcan/trunk/kernel/2.6/Documentation/networking/can.txt
$ wc -l socketcan/trunk/README.isotp
257 socketcan/trunk/README.isotp

I assume when adding all the upcoming documentation to can.txt it will become
unusable. IMO there are several parts to handle:

- general overview & credits
- PF_CAN infrastructure
- CAN-RAW
- CAN-BCM
- CAN-ISOTP
- CAN driver infrastructure
- CAN driver configuration

I thought about creating a new directory Dockumentation/networking/can
where files like overview.txt, can-raw.txt, drivers.txt could be placed.

An other idea could be to move the documentation to wiki.kernel.org, like
the good example https://i2c.wiki.kernel.org - which would urge the developer
to be always online to browse it.

What do you think?

Regards,
Oliver
