Hi,
I'm not sure if data sheets fit into this model, but we do have a
repository for similar technical content here:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/muskoka/
Let me know if you'd like to make use of this exiting project or join in.
Regards,
Michelle
"Hardware Specs" could fit. I see there is only one doc there though.

It occurs to me that many things are often written for OpenSolaris,
using data sheets which may be public. However, it is not
uncommon for
chip vendors to remove or relocate data sheets such that the data
sheet
used to write a driver vanishes after some time.
I think it would be very useful to have a public repository of data
sheets which were obtained publicly (without any click thru agreements
or such, and certainly not under NDA!) and which were used in Solaris
device drivers so that future maintainers can be assured of having
reference materials available when possible.
this would be useful not only for opensolaris but for a lot of other
opensource projects, perhaps we should also talk to the *bsd community
and set up something together?
I actually have such data sheets for a few of the parts whose drivers
I've worked on, and I'd be happy to start such a repository.
What do folks think? And how would these best be handled? As a
project
underneath the device-drivers community, perhaps?
