The FreeBSD Driver Database allows driver developers to post information about the status of their drivers including needs they may have that could help them in their development efforts. Similarly, sysadmins (well, anyone really) with hardware they are willing to lend to a developer can post details about the hardware and it's availability. In addition, volunteers can signup to test drivers that are currently in development. I tried to implement as much functionality as I could think of, but surely I left something important out. So, as always, suggestions are welcome.
