I echo this...I'd be happy to more formally document the process I used t=
o=20
patch acpi, but while it worked, I have been subsequently told it was wro=
ng=20
:) I must admit that I stopped with ACPI once my battery status worked.

I'd like to see a site which covered:

* background info
* machine specific howtos (or even just success reports)
* centralised downloads
* faq
* bug tracking
* better mailing list s/ware, perhaps a proper news server so we could se=
arch=20
it with google groups?

Is there an Intel based project manager who would like to be over this i.=
e.=20
allocation and tracking of tasks, ensuring documents were reviewed etc? O=
r is=20
this a person from the general member list?

I'm sure other members of this list are just as happy to stand up and hel=
p, we=20
probably just need a little direction / reassurance that Intel is happy t=
o=20
let this grow into a proper little open-source community :)

Cheers
