Lots about the proposed DSDT respository (and so did others).  
Thank you for your comments and insights.

This effort can only address a partial DSDT solution, and initially 
the primary concern is getting the
correct information up about the tools and methods required to 
extract needed files for a system (and to
then make those files available).  If that information is correct, 
novice users should be able to contribute.

An initial draft with about 25 dsdt is up with request for comment 
at :

http://www.fileandstream.com/proc/acpi/dsdt.htm

In terms of 'help':
1. if there are any volunteers to review a 'sandbox' for any new 
dsdt/acpidumps/etc that 
come in please let me know; 
2. review of extraction information and procedures for a variety of 
systems, including better
information about how to get some of the tools (dmidecode, 
acpidump, etc) for a variety of linux
distros. 

There are several linked pages on usage and ways to gather 
information for contribution
as well on that site;  comments are welcome to me directly rather 
than clogging these lists.
