How about doing it the full way by doing the hardware db everyone dreams
about :
1. a small client that detects all the stuff on a system
2. optionally asks user to rank support for all the bits he got
(interactive mode - should be possible to just transparently collect
changed hw on boot/hotplug)
3. uploads results to a central db where people can read/comment on
them, add config info, with forums dedicated to ranges of hardware,
links to authoritative sites, etc

(ie the project desktop linux people talked a lot a few months ago but
no one worked on as far as I know)
