I think the "compatibility list" side is the more important. Trying to punish non helpful products/vendors isn't as productive as helping stuff that is Linux friendly.

At what level is "Product" - do you need a category. How do you want to classify devices. I think this matters because you want eventually to be able to deal with things like tools that let users rate their setup functionality and submit it automatically. > > How bad it is (1 to 10, 9 being it almost works and has only minor > bugs): > > Reason (no specs, driver still being worked on, ...): > > Url for more info: > > An email address of yours that we may publish (so that we can contact > you if someone says "no, that works just fine!"):
Wikipedia has a discussion page tagged to each article/entry. This works extremely well because it provides a public forum for discussion of what does/doesn't work, why and when.
Could you add "Kernel.org bugzilla #" for not working ones, both to help people track them and to encourage submissions ?
