As approved by the TC, we are moving to a less formal way of discussing the specification, on the mailing lists provided by the Linux Foundation: https://groups.oasis-open.org/higherlogic/ws/public/ballot?id=3820 Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and newdevice.tex accordingly. Use this opportunity to explain when and how to use each mailing list. Oh yes, and device numbers are reserved through virtio-comment not through virtio-dev. Correct that. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email protected]> --- changes from v3: update CONTRIBUTING.md and newdevice.tex changes from v2: Use this opportunity to explain when and how to use each mailing list.
