rfc: location of the speakup users guide

rfc: location of the speakup users guide

[William Hubbs]

All,

I don't know for sure how I want to do this, so I want to run it by the
rest of you to see what you think.

Currently, we have the speakup users guide located in the staging
directory, which means that it shows up in the linux kernel source tree.
We can't put it in the Documentation directory of the kernel until it
goes fully mainline (out of staging).

So, I'm wondering what you think about where it is located now.  Should
it be in the staging directory where it is, or, should we move it, e.g.
to the speakup-tools repository?

Comments?

Thanks,

William

Speaking of staging, I notice the newest git doesn't have makefiles for 
compiling as a stand-alone module set. Are we all being quietly forced 
into messing with the kernel? Any hopes of getting back the module 
process? It seems we went from patching it into the kernel, to 
stand-alone modules, and now we're back to the installing it into the 
kernel again. I like both ways, but I use the modules on systems I want 
to just get up and running fast, especially when I don't care to sit 
down and compile a kernel.

Hi William,
Keep it where it is.  It applies to Speakup, and I think moving it 
elsewhere would just confuse the issue.  It will, ideally, be integrated 
into the main tree at some point, so why move it now?
Just my two cents.
Best,
Zack

Shouldn't it reside in a speakupdocs branch of the speakup tree? I don't
think that code and documentation belong in the same branch. If this is not
acceptable, follow the kernel documentation structure.
