Why do the Project members think the Linux community would volunteer to
write the bulk of the UDI drivers? I suspect some of them assume that
Linux developers see driver-writing as a pain in the neck and a
cost-center -- i.e. the way they do. Actually Linux drivers seem to be a
profit center for those who write them, according to a peculiar
free-software definition of "profit". (Occasionally it is even
profitable in a monetary sense.)

Some things are not improved when made "graphical".  Imagine how crude
Kilmer's "Trees" would be if reduced to comic-book form.
