i'd say that tejun's got you there, tim. how is anyone supposed to understand or help you to support what your team is doing if the entire work - no matter how good it is - is kept secret and proprietary? we *know* that secret and proprietary is risky, so why is the company that you work for indulging itself in such dangerous practices, especially when there appears to be so much at risk here if the only mindshare for the work you're doing exists solely and exclusively in some "secret lair"? my suggestion to you would be to urgently, *urgently* get the *entire* set of tools and documentation surrounding what is clearly mission critical infrastructure released *immediately* as a software libre project. and the second suggestion would - if they are amenable - to hire tejun and any of his associates - to come over for as long as possible and necessary to review what you've been doing, on site, giving them carte blanche (or even a remit) to update and refine the online documentation. without that happening - without there being publicly-available documentation - i really don't see how you can be expected to ask tejun to understand the complexity of what the team needs, when the majority of what you want - and need! - to say you *can't*... because you're under some bloody stupid NDA! that's... insane! you *need mindshare*: that means releasing the tools and documentation as a software libre project so that, if nothing else, there's other people whom the company you work for can poach when they get proficient at working with it :) l. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
