I think anyone launching a reverse engineering effort should announce the project to LKML! When I set out to add some multichannel functionality to the emu10k1 ALSA drivers based on the kX project Windows drivers, I announced the project to alsa-devel and alsa-user, and got a number of volunteers who were most helpful in testing these new features, and greatly sped up the effort. As a result we were able to fix almost all the major bugs before I even submitted the patch. Now these new features are merged as of ALSA 1.0.9.
There is a very large group of people who can't write code but have the hardware and are dying to get more out of it, or just to get it to work, and would gladly help any Linux driver reverse engineering project, if they just knew about it.
