I suggest breaking it up first by work type. As Julia noted,
coccinelle/checkpatch/etc fixes (coding style, straightforward
errors caught by the tools, sparse complaints, warnings, etc.)
rarely require awareness of the larger flow of the design.<br>
<br>
Then there is some other types of cleanup that require more Lustre
knowledge to tackle. If possible, those would be better for someone
like Ben (or you, James) to work on. What do we have for that kind
of work?<br>

Hi Ben
Thanks for helping out for this work. I added people in the chain that
have contributed a great
deal to the upstream client so we can coordinate our work. Also I like to
make people aware
a lustre IRC channel does exist. Andreas can supply the details about the
IRC channel. Currently
my work has been focused on the libcfs/lnet layer. I had discuss early with
Mike Shuey since he
was also working in that area but will be migrating to the lustre core.
Since more people are getting involved we need to find a way to break
up the work to avoid
duplicate work. Should the work be broken up by layer, i.e lov, mdc, or by
task such as removing
specific checkpatch errors with files?

For the work I have done with Coccinelle, it is more convenient to do the
whole thing. Breaking things up by layer is not helpful.
This is just a data point, though. It doesn't have to imply anything about
how others work on the code.
