Documentation/development-process: use -next trees instead of staging

2010-11-18T23:00:47+00:00

This is confusing, as we have "staging" trees for drivers/staging.  Call
them -next trees.

Documentation: update broken web addresses.

2010-08-04T13:21:40+00:00

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

docs: Encourage better changelogs in the development process document

2009-06-04T16:32:49+00:00

Add a couple of paragraphs to the "patch formatting" section on how patches
should be described.  This text is shamelessly cribbed from suggestions
posted by Rusty Russell.
