I've skimmed through the pdf yesterday. Interesting stuff even for non driver devs. Too bad the (for me) interesting bits like OpenGL/Mesa, Gallium3D are not there yet. Can't wait till it is finished.

THIS.IS.AMAZING.
Really, it is.
It's all about lowering the threshold for new contributors.
I'm looking forward to it.
