[opensuse] Best hardware DB to contribute to?
I tend to install SuSE on a few laptops every year and decided I might contribute my little bit of experience in this area to some online database of this-hardware-works, this-other-doesn't. There's several online, and I don't have time to contribute to them all. Does anyone have a suggestion about which one I should use?

Jonathan, do you have a list of the databases you considered? I don't see any reference to other databases on http://en.opensuse.org/Hardware, perhaps we add some to the External Links section... cheers, Jw. -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de wide open suse_/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 (tm)__/ (____/ /\ (/) | __________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Oral agreements are worth about as much as the paper they are written on." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Juergen, what is your opinion about database on openSUSE wiki, good and bad sides. Can we structure it better to be easier to browse and add entries. The table format used on some pages seems to be inadequate as it is now. It is not easy to add entries and specially due to limited space in a table it doesn't allow comments, procedure description etc. I was looking to combine smaller table with fewer entries combined with page index like layout test on: http://en.opensuse.org/User:Rajko_m/Tests Page index seems to work fine for some of HCL pages: http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Printers http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Scanners and it is quite more useful than: http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/Acer and similar. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
