Philip Newcomb, TSRI's Founder and Chief Executive Officer said, "We applied our award winning JANUSTM Toolset to automatically capture and publish the detailed design for the entire Linux operating system. We selected a sufficiently challenging demonstration vehicle to highlight the scalability and benefits of using web-based services for software knowledge discovery for very large software systems. Because we are committed to open standards, we made Linux Open Design 2.6 available to the Linux community as a publicly accessible web service."

Currently in Beta form, the Linux 2.6 documentation is available now free-of-charge at the following TSRI web site: www.softwarerevolution.com/jeneral/open-source-docs.html.

TSRI invites comments from the reviewers/users of this documentation. All comments should be addressed to www.sales@softwarerevolution.com.
