I hope this takes off - it's a good concept.  It's definitely a good
idea to reserve rights to edit all contributions - the linux hacker's
guide was basically a FAQ-o-matic with no posting restrictions, and it
eventually drowned under an avalanche of malicious spam (conspiracy
theorists cordially invited to insert theory here).

Two requests.

  - As you will see, I inserted a little content here:
     
http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net:80/wiki/?KernelProgrammingResources

    and I included some html.  It didn't work; I expected it to work.

  - I didn't find any place to insert a credit to myself.  I think
    that's pretty much essential.  Many contributors might not bother,
    but it's nice to know you can enter it if you want to.
