How's a person to get excited about writing a driver for hardware he's
never even seen? Seems to me that posting schematics would come before
writing drivers because most programmers don't want anything to do with
writing a driver for a circuit they've never seen. And they don't want to
even think about volunteering to write it before they've seen the circuit.
