I like this proposal: the information I'm looking for is
along the lines
of "we have new hardware using CPU X, Flash Y and Ethernet Z". What code should we copy & modify? It's not just what boards
support X, Y,
Z: that information is availble by using find/grep. It's
what boards do
things the "right" way, and which ones are
older/hackier/more hardcoded.
Who is the judge? Who decides what is good and what not?
Do we install a committee to resolve conflicts?

Well, the wiki premise is that /everybody/ is the judge and the wiki will settle down with the proper answer. That is taking quite a lot on faith, especially with something that is pretty subjective and is subject to a lot of ownership-pride. That is what I was alluding to when I wrote: With the wiki, it still may not work, because people may not contribute and there is a risk of people getting into "my implementation is better than your implementation" fights. Hopefully we are all smarter than that.
