Have you plugged it into a Linux box? It might already be supported and
if not, might just need to add a USB ID to get it to be recognized. I
have had to do that for a few pieces of hardware. Where drivers already
existed, they were just unaware of the USB ID from my device. Pass that
along to upstream, they include the USB ID, and things evolve from
there :)

Well voting can also be done on the wiki. There was a poll extension in
the old wiki. I never added it when migrating the wiki to the dedicated
server, now dedicated vm. But its not difficult to add and we can do
various votes on the wiki. Or in IRC or on this list either way.

Sure, and the whole idea behind a IRC channel would be for real time
communication anytime. Either at schedule times, or when ever a need
pops up. The GatorJUG has an IRC channel. I lurked in there a few years
back, they are quite chatty :)

Even called me out a few times, noticing me as a lurker, so I had to
speak up. Which is a real problem for me....
