Excellent. We are really making things up as we go along. That is basically the method to the wiki madness: If you want it implemented - you implement it. If there are any disagreements then they shall be discussed, but after someone has made some first steps. Regarding the hardware database: We recongise that an actual database (like the one mandrake has) is the ideal solution. However, the mandrake hardware compatability database has some severe limitations at the moment: 1. No way for community members to add information on hardware they know is compatible. 2. No way of having specific documentation on how to get a specific piece of hardware to work if it does not work "out of the box" Steffen Barszus actually posted a message to cooker yesterday asking the mandrake people how they envision the community helping them with the hardware database ... and got no answer.
