I have the responsibility for coordinating the FSF effort at a hardware database. Obviously we have next to nothing there at the moment.

I've been talking with some people over the last couple of weeks about ways to make it easier for people to submit information, and so I think we'll have some improvements in that area soon.

If anyone would like to chip in some volunteer time to help get this thing together, drop me a line at johns at fsf dot org with your ideas. The core principle here is to include only completely free drivers. We will be focusing on GNU/Linux systems, but will be happy to include information about free BSD systems as well when that info comes our way.
