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.
