What I usually do, I just start scratching or writing something with everything
I know.
Wiki is a great tool as it allows somebody else to easily add and correct your
documentation.
If there's little interest, you'll sure find out in the long run. ;-)
Your question here is more likely to see if somebody else has already started
something, and I've never heard anything yet concerning the topic.
Since Linux is coded in C programming language, you might check-in with the
Freenode #c IRC group as there are many expert C programmers there. You could
also check the Assembly Language IRC group as well. ...just some ideas.
