As far as I know, only the "Device_Page_example" is a template, so yes, I'm talking about the "Device_Page_example". >> - I'd expect many people filling such a page have no idea what "BSP" or >> "HW-Pack" is. > The BSP/HW-Pack is not in use much, oliver is the only user i know. Yet, it's right up there in the template. I.e. it's confusing and off-putting, makes the potential new contributor wonder what the hell we're talking about and how to find out (and the red helper text is of no help in this respect). >> - we could mention the most straightforward way to get the corresponding >> info (with a link to the NDH in case this method fails to work). > Retrieving device information is not good enough?

I don't think there's a need for much more, indeed, but that's beside the point: If I imagine I'm a brand new contributor looking at http://linux-sunxi.org/Device_Page_example and trying to fill it in, I'd have no idea that this is the info I need to provide.

I just did it virtually, which is what prompted this previous message. If you want me to do it for real, then send me a device that's not already covered.
