What would be more useful, is if you would explain how we should work with 
the linux driver project.  In particular, what the topology of the git 
stuff should look like (I've never used git so bear with me).  I'd like to 
have something like a git repository that consisted just of "latest stable 
vanilla kernel release" + comedi for the main repository for working on 
getting comedi into the kernel.  I have zero interest in supporting 
multiple comedi branches, so I'd like to get as clear an idea of how the 
process would work before it begins, so it goes as smoothly as possible.

If you try to bring in outsiders who have no particular interest in comedi 
beyond "getting all external drivers into the kernel", and have them run 
off making massive changes on their own (even if they are trivial changes, 
like changing all the whitespace conventions), you're likely to end up 
with nothing but a dead fork bitrotting in the kernel.
