Need for an ACPI webpage

["P. Christeas" <p_christ-U04EIuiosng@public.gmane.org>]

Until now I have hust been lurking in this list. 
I realized now that I may need to patch my DSDT and found out that:
- I cannot find any web-page with a list of known/buggy/patched systems, where 
we could share knowledge on a *per system* basis. I can only lurk the list 
for previous discussions etc.
Never mind about my own system, this should apply to all..

I propose that we construct a table like: (example)
System		kernel/ACPI		State		More
------------------------------------------------
HP Xe3GC	all			DSDT		Patch with <a href...> the patch </a>
		2.4.20/20020918		tested-OK	No suspend
		2.5.29-/-		buggy		No sleep resume, hang on kbd
		2.5.33+/20021002	unknown		Sleep fixed, rest?
Asus M2000E	2.5.40			bug		hangs.. (some_name-cx69T0KZIJYAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org)
Foobar(TM)	all			horrible		Don't use!

---------------------

... and put it in an official page, where all can see it.

I believe that DSDT's need only be fixed once, so that would be a useful place 
to put them in. 

We could all contribute there, by treating the table as a project. Each time 
we mention sth useful in the list, we could make sure it is transferred 
there.
