How about starting the whole thing with these steps:
short term: A central place where kernel hackers document the hardware support for a given device would be a good starting point. Also they can start to document how well a company provided information to create a free driver. This would be completely independend from financial aspects. It should be with some structure, as opposed to a pure wiki approach, which was suggested somewhere in the original thread. Kernel folks are allowed to enter devices/change Status/log ongoing development steps All others are allowed to comment as testers/reviewers see where it goes.
long term: establish and define the conditions under which a free driver logo is used i.e. award companies/hardware for excellent linux support with "penguin driver logo" or grant use of logo "linux ready" for use on boxed retail.
