An h-node.com client could be used in order to access the h-node.com xml database and automatically check the compatibility of the own hardware with free software. It could be a simple library used through the terminal or a complete program with a nice GUI in order to browse the hardware and interact with h-node.com. Perhaps it could be also used to submit new hardware to h-node.com.
The first goal is to write a library in order to parse the xml database and automatically check the hardware compatibility with free software. It could be written in Python or C, or both. Something like:
Python:
browse = Client() browse.parse('soundcards') browse.set_output_format('xml'); browse.set_output_file('result.xml'); browse.check_compatibility();
