This is a very good suggestion. However, the following point should
be kept in mind:

 Linux is not a toy --- it is meant to work

This means that work on any portion of the kernel will receive
support from the LKML only if this work is actually to intended to
produce a working result and is sufficiently well-documented to
enable long-term maintainence.

I give this warning since projects are often meant to test out
certain ideas about operating systems. Such work is also valuable but
usually needs to be done outside of LKML.

Regards,

Kapil.
