The rules can just be public and part of the communication of what the lists are etc. If OSDL can buy into a good set of rules I see no problems with them doing it; I do hope that it can be "for no fee" service. Or at worst, have an option for the manufacturer to put in a link or two on the product page for a fee to cover the costs of the lot. > I > *am* more worried about how the message goes out, how the information > becomes visible to the right people, etc. I think OSDL can help there; to be honest I liked the kernel.org idea... there probably can be other means too, but a good decent website (eg nice categories, search option etc) goes a really long way esp if it's 'official' like kernel.org is. the hair part may be an option for users to add links to pages with extra info for a certain piece of hardware, that needs manual review - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
