10. The Future

After Linux 1.0 was released, work has been done on several enhancements. Disk access speedups, TTY improvements, and many more things are now available in Linux 1.2.

Linux 1.2 has now been released, and many new enhancements, including virtual memory enhancements, multiple platform support, quotas, and many other features are being developed and stabilized with the 1.3.x development series. After one stable year of Linux 1.0, Linux 1.2 filled that same role. Now, a new stable release of Linux (most likely Linux 2.0, rather than Linux 1.4) will continue that tradition.

There is plenty of code left to write, and even more documentation. Please join the linux-doc@vger.rutgers.edu mailing list if you would like to contribute to the documentation. Send mail to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu with a single line containing the word ``help'' in the body (NOT the subject) of the message.
