what would you pay for good kernel documentation?

[William O'Higgins Witteman]

There is an aspect of local-over-global that this list taps into, and
may provide a counterpoint.

I read this list over other lists because I know that the people are 
(mostly) around the GTA, and if I needed a locally present source of
advice/work/services etc, I could look at my recollection of their posts
to get a sense of their technical/social skills, and then contact them.
I have on a few occasions asked on the list for services, and have been
very happy with the results.

I don't have the head-space for kernel development, but if you, a local
and continual contributor to both the list and the larger community,
advertised a pay-what-you-like setup for a resource, I would hit the
site and throw you a few dollars on principle.

If you produced documentation that was of value to me at work, I could
absolutely justify a contribution.  My situation may be more unusual, as
I can use the "this is a good idea" mechanism of justification, whereas
some people are more tied to deranged accountants.
