Hi, I'm working with the Software Revolution and I thought you guys might
like to know that we just completed the automatic generation of a full,
design-level documentation of the LINUX kernel and associated sub-systems.
This documentation set is made up of hyperlinked graphics and text documents
of all the major subsystems and all of the source code fields and functions
and is organized by complexity and file-system location. It covers the Linux
kernel, memory management, file-system, security, cryptography,
initialization, drivers, architecture and interprocess communication
subsystems. Furthermore, we're offering this for... well free. I just
thought it was something maybe you guys could use. If you would like to view
this information, just go to:
http://www.softwarerevolution.com/jeneral/open-source-docs.html
Any questions or comments anyone might have are more than welcome. Thanks
for your time and we hope you'll find our services useful.

Well, both options require the use of Windows - most guys around here aren't
going to be able to view it. (I would really like to view the docs but
couldn't - Firefox displayed plain text and Konqueror displayed the page
properly but there were no links on the page as displayed by Konqueror.)
BTW, both Konqueror and Firefox support SVG (not in their stable versions but
none the less, bleeding edge versions do give an option to enable SVG
support.) So it would be helpful to have a version viewable using Linux
browsers.
Thanks

This looks really nice, and I can load the SVG images just fine, but
could
you use something other than image maps? They seem to give my favorite
browsers (OmniWeb and Safari on Mac OS X) some sort of heartburn. Other
than that this looks really awesome! Thanks!
Cheers,

There's an Adobe SVG plugin that works on Linux (at least on FC3).
<http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/svgviewer/linux/3.x/3.01x88/en/adobesvg-3.01x88-linux-i386.tar.gz>
This works fine with a test SVG link at Adobe but after installing it
Firefox only displays the above link as source :-(
Before I installed the plug in Firefox displayed the above link OK but
couldn't display the SVG stuff. :-(

Yes, it seems that it needs some work.

For me even the SVG enabled version of Firefox (Deer Park Alpha) displays
source of the URL - perhaps some mime type issue.
Nick - Firefox Deer Park Alpha version is the one you might want to target -
as I said it is SVG enabled.

Try mozilla, and librsvg2-bin if you are in debian.

mozilla can handle it correctly, but firefox isn't wrong.
