FANTASTIC idea! As a suggestion, we should have some sort of category stating
which versions of FreeBSD are known to work with piece of hardware XYZ. This
would then allow somebody to make the query "if I buy HoozieWutzit XP4, will
it work with FreeBSD 4.1?" and receive an answer.
I could probably donate some time to gathering information for one of the
above categories (or something on the "Other" branch--seems to me with all the
integrated chipset/peripheral solutions coming out these days, a natural
question is "does FreeBSD work with this motherboard and if so, what pieces of
it, etc." ...). I know nothing of XML but can learn and can at least gather
stuff in ASCII files ;-).
This is a great idea ....
