Perhaps can be tried in some wrong way. I am sure this is necessity, because
the user is confused with the driver to use with a hardware.

I would reduce it to Ethernet, WiFi, modem and graphics card database (what
you need to minimally use and update a Linux box, with an internet
connection to download and install packages) and to the latest kernel.

It also could utilize a wiki (i.e. a Wikia ?) with GFDL license.

Would you send links to the other projects?.
