#6620: Create Hardware documentation and resource group ------------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: stargatefan | Owner: haiku-web Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Website/Trac | Version: Keywords: drivers developers documentation | Blocked By: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All Blocking: | ------------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Instead of having the developers waste time chasing down hardware specs, I propose a alternate system. Create a sub system where dev's can post info requests and 5-10-20-100 people who are not capable of generating code, can go and find the documents, code etc from the various sources to assist the dev's.Plus manufacturers tend to give in a bit when they get hammered with 400 phone calls asking for the same doc's. trust me this works "sometimes" when dealing with a obstenant vendor. I see this as helpful in a number of ways. 1. it reduces the number of feature requests comming from users, it free dev's to work on important task like coding and testing. 2. it give alot of folks who could contribute but can't code something to do. 3. it creates a way to check driver development and a unified hardware list. mostly it helps development along a great deal by removing work other people could be doing. I dunno. How do dev's feel about this ?We could also start a pretty serious hardware manual by defualt. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6620> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
