+ Introduction to kernel development
+ ----------------------------------
+
+ These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel.
+ The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers
+ contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community,
+ knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes
+ merged much easier.

+ Kernel API documentation
+ ------------------------
+
+ These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
+ from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here
+ is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
+ as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
+ needed).
