The Ultimate Hardware Database
Ever needed support setting up that wireless network in FreeBSD? Ever wished there was a place that gives support specifically for your graphics card? Well, in development is the ultimate database for hardware support, providing you with the HOWTO's, step-by-step setup guides, help with configuration, and the support you need. Ranging in all different hardware types from digital cameras all the way to webcams, on all different operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. Users are able to submit their own guides to help people who have been having specific problems with that hardware type.
While there are forums, support sites, newsgroups etc and most of it can be found via a little Googling, how long does it usually take, if it's uncommon/new hardware, on say, BSD, you may get clues in which direction to go, but then it could still take hours.
How much easier would it be if you could get the info in a few clicks?
Sure, there already is sites like this, but they all require subscriptions.
Now, my question to you is this;
How many of you would be interested in using a service like this?
Would any of you ever submit your own guides?
To start with, it's going to be extremely difficult to get the site off the ground without people lending a hand with submittions, so this would be a great help.
Before I go through the motions I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on an idea like this.
Don't bring up the issues regarding staff, money or time, Everything is covered. The only thing we need to worry about is if anyone would use it and if anyone would submit their guides, and your opinions of course.
Thanks for your time.
