Hello!

I have spent a couple of days editing the "wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport" Page.

I have fixed some of the following:

1. Created Categories of Hardware (instead of long lists of all Hardware involved):

Examples:

a. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMouse, or
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters, or
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners

Instead of:

b. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported


Note:
I think it easier to browse "by brand" instead of having all brands in 1 huge list...

2. Fixed any broken links,

3. Fixed links that point to nowhere,

4. Added links to Hardware Solutions that exist, but there is no link pointing to them.

5. Put products into Alphabetical Order - where they weren't.

Note:
I was extremely careful when editing these pages, so Nothing was removed - I can assure you of that!!!

Question:
Do you like the "wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport" Page (as it will become)?

OR:

Should I stop continuing "editing" with the remaining Hardware?

Thanks.

P.S.1> I think it is better to Separate the "wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport" Page into "
by brand" Pages than having Huge lists will all Brands instead...
P.S.2> As the Hardware Lists grow bigger & bigger everyday (inside the "wiki"), if there are no categories created & separated "by brand", it will get harder & harder for users to locate their hardware...
P.S.3> Since I am not a programmer, I can not help into making Programs better, but at least I can help where I can...

This is the way a community should work ;)
