The kernel newbies community often gets inquiries from CS students who
need a project for their studies and would like to do something with
the Linux kernel, but would also like their code to be useful to the
community afterwards.
In order to make it easier for them, I am trying to put together a
page with projects that:
- Are self contained enough that the students can implement the
project by themselves, since that is often a university requirement.
- Are self contained enough that Linux could merge the code (maybe
with additional changes) after the student has been working on it
for a few months.
- Are large enough to qualify as a student project, luckily there is
flexibility here since we get inquiries for anything from 6 week
projects to 6 month projects.
If you have ideas on what projects would be useful, please add them
to this page (or email me):

Is there already a make config option that will do a good job at setting
a default .config file based on what is already running on a system?
I get tiered of trimming down my .config for my laptop build so it takes
less than 30min to build a kernel.
Bonus credit to additional "expert" options (like those powertop puts
out) for target uses, laptop, HPC, home file share, embedded targets....
Oh, and lets make the expert configs easily extensible.
another config thing that would be nice would be to take something like
Rob Landley's miniconfig tool and make it work well enough to be
integrated (it creates a version of .config that only contains the things
that need to be set, not everything that's at a default that doesn't make
any difference)
