We have a wiki! The PLUG web site; there is a section for our project,
just set the "path" of the documents you create to something "under" the
path "projects/video", for example, "projects/video/hdmi". ** Make an
account on the web site and we'll add editing rights for the entire
site. Add any docs you want to it.

I think HDMI would be used just as firewire is now, not hugely more
flexible.

I suspect USB3 may be a requirement; I see PCI-E cards for $22 and $17
on deal extreme. But that does then rule out laptops and rule in SFF
desktops (most nettops don't have PCI/PCI-E).
