Well anyone can edit the wiki, so yes, we do have plenty of pages
users can use to edit and elaborate on. To be more specific what we
can do is have a scratch page where users can add drivers they *think*
are not yet written. A few of us can then monitor that page by
subscribing and then we can incorporate that info into our wiki. Sure
users who are sure of things can just go ahead and expand our pages
(we have no restrictions). From the looks on the LiuxDriverProject
page on what drivers are needed it seems *a lot* of users don't know
of a lot of current work being done or that has been done already.
