Maybe we should entertain a change from the programming SIG (which seems to have fallen by the
wayside) to a device driver SIG.

Learning how to create device drivers is probably not that big a problem. Getting device manufactures
to make detailed functional information available will be the big hurdle. If we can get the info. we
can solve at least some driver problems for our selves. Or maybe we can learn how to port Linux
drivers.

Is this doable or am I an academic living in an ivory tower?
