Hi,
since we're aiming for broader coverage in LinuxBIOS and related tools, I think we should publish a "Call for Action" which urges interested people to give us dumps of their board configuration etc.
We had such calls before, and people would send in their board information, assuming that this would be enough for us to support their hardware. Unfortunately not a single new port resulted from this, though many people participated and lots of (unaccomplished) expectations were created. So I carefully wonder what the real goal of such a call would be, except gathering random people with random boards? Something like: We have 10 people who are willing to work on this or that mainboard if you get them a system they can keep for doing the work, given that the northbridge and southbridge are already supported... Other ideas?
