Open Resource Encouraging FreeBSD Driver Developme

Kelly Yancey writes "A new resource encouraging device driver development for FreeBSD just came on-line: the FreeBSD Driver Database. The idea of the database is to assist driver developers who may need hardware, documentation, or volunteer testers just find just that. Developers can list the drivers they are currently hacking together and anything they may need to help them to their goal. Similarly, sysadmins (or anyone else) with hardware they can lend to developers can post their hardware and it's availability.

The hope is to broaden the base of supported hardware for FreeBSD by providing a central point around which development can focus. People with hardware they would like to see supported can find developers to lend it to. And developers who need hardware (or volunteers) to test their drivers can indicate their needs on-line. "
