Instead the Supported_hardware page (which is generated from flashrom's source semi-automatically) should note the BBB and directly link to its page. Will be like that... sometimes in the future.
Add a programmer category, and have the categories listed on the supported hardware page.
Sounds reasonable.
Also, Sam, it's a wiki.
Yes, but it has no obvious way to create an account ;) I guess I could request one, here on the mailing list, but:
- I don't own a BBB, so wouldn't be the ideal person to add any
documentation for that; and
- it didn't seem sensible to request a wiki account, if I did not have
a good use to which to put it.
This is currently an issue with both coreboot and flashrom. People cannot easily get a wiki account, and those more involved are all whining that the wiki is not useful. There's a connection.
Luc Verhaegen. Who made the linux-sunxi wiki that useful.

Please stop spreading this FUD, thank you. Sam obviously chose to not request an account (and for very good reasons) and it was not "not easy". I have never heard any flashrom dev whining about the flashrom wiki (apart from you, if we count you in). Please don't mix up flashrom with coreboot either.
