Hi, i would like to point out a Hardware Tool that is being developed by [a]Thomas Dennis|http://trisquel.info/en/users/gobusto[/a] on the Trisquel's users community. I was wondering that at some state this program could use the h-node project database and inform about the hardware compatibility on the machine running a fully free operating distro, but also gather this info from the installed machine with a Libre Kernel to the h-node site. This way completing the feedback loop, creating the database for hardware compatible with fully free operating systems.

Hello,

>I was wondering that at some state this program could use the h-node project database and inform about the hardware compatibility on the machine running a fully free operating distro

the h-node hardware database will be accessible in xml format as soon as possible (I think in the next few days). In this way one could develop a desktop software in order to parse the h-node xml database and inform the user on the compatibility of its hardware.

>but also gather this info from the installed machine with a Libre Kernel to the h-node site.

Yes, one should develop a desktop client that can send an http request to the right page of h-node.com attaching the hardware informations via a POST request (as it was an HTML form). I could give all the necessary informations. Anyway, one can see the source code of the page containing the forms to insert or edit an hardware.

thanks

Antonio
