Story: The ups and downs of life with Linus

Sounds like an immature development/QA process. I'd like to know the flow of product from Linus through release, (assuming that there is a process).

Linus should not have to handle a lot of organizational details. Use him as he is and give him support in the areas where he is weak or (more likely) disinterested..

Does Linus have a gopher to handle the mundane stuff? He should! The gopher could do the builds and document them with minimum impact on Linus.

Some meta-advice; don't give him too much support i.e. smother him with love!
