Hardware Descriptions and Update Systems

[DoctorMO]

I've been mulling these ideas for a while.

Could you all have a look at this proposal and give me your thoughts?

Ah i can see 23 people have viewed but no replies, so I'm thinking it's not a very interesting idea or I'm rubbish at presenting them (both likely).

So I'll ask a question:

Would a single system which allowed identified hardware to gather information for human readable and/or computer readable instructions from a single place be a useful tool?

I'm also interested to hear if people would add to the data and add notes for driver compatibility and development status.

There is also the possibility of discovering what unsupported hardware is most in use, allowing driver developers to choose the largest effecting drivers to code.
