Maybe you could prepare a sort of template, so that it would
be possible to contribute patches, without having to spend hours
thinking how to organise the informations ?
Care should be taken so that the informations are up to
date. For instance I wrote a small page about the sound support on my
targa lidl laptop (<http://charles.plessy.org/lidlpenguin.html>), but
I don't know if it is still relevant for 2.6 machines : I upgraded, it
continued working, but I have no idea about how It would behave with a
new sarge install...
