I would like to develop a driver for any kind of fingerprint reader

suggestions on which device I should use. My first thought was the
microsoft usb fingerprint reader
(http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DG2-00002-DT&cpc=SCH) because
it's a new device (and, of course, doesn't have any driver for linux),
it's cheap, and it's from MS (read "would be fun" =)
Already done (well, in development with early working code):
http://dpfp.berlios.de
Another question: Is there any place (probably a webpage) where we can
see a list of hardware devices separated by category, and know if
there's already a driver for it (and the name/url of the maintainer)
or not, if there are plans to develop a driver for it or not, or to
form teams to develop it ? Like a webpage where I can browse and see
that the device X doesn't have any drivers for it (and people can go
and "vote" for a driver, so we can know which devices are most wanted
by users), and sign ourselves to develop it ? I think that it would be
cool. If there isn't anything like that, I can develop it myself and
somebody at kernel.org or another place could host it =]
For USB devices there is http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/
