Hello

http://www.kernel.org contains some pointer to online documentation on various
web sites and also sometimes URL's are being mentioned in Documentation/ files
and <Help> in make menuconfig.

Which of this documentation is official and which is unofficial?

Since this is a community-developed kernel, there is no "official" documentation per se; anyone is welcome to write whatever documentation they care to, and if it's good enough, others will recommend it.

The only true authority is the source code, but not everyone has the skill to grok kernel code quickly.

If you are interested, I am starting to review and update the Documentation directory - any help would be greatly appreciated.
