Since we want to make this a one-stop shopping place, if nothing else,
we should point to the linuxprinting.org site.  I can change the
"missing drivers" wiki page to point to any list you have of missing
printer drivers on Linux.

Beyond that, what other kinds of coordination would be needed?

Of course, I think _we will concentrate on developing kernel driver
information.  But if we find user-space driver information, I see no
reason why we should ignore it.  Seems like this would be very helpful
to the desktop folks...
