A Kernel Configuration Tale of Woe
Quoted 3 lines
So how would you deal with somebody contributing bogus mappings? What if somebody was just wrong, or uploading a mapping in error?
Well, then the next time somebody queried that mapping and got back the config, it wouldn't work. And they'd either fix it, or complain to someone who would fix it.
So its inherently self-correcting.

Contributors could be given a reliability rating (bit like ebay?). Same thing for contributions; users could confirm successful results and boost the rating of the info.

Now that would be cool. Sounds like something that might be more complex then it appears, but it would be fun to play with if somebody else implemented it. :->
One way I would use such a database would be to help guide my decission on what devices to put into a box I am building.

What ways would people like to implement such as system in?
Ie.. a website, a database, etc...
