The site lacks documentation. Care to explain to us what exactly the project does, and why you do think it is related with hardware monitoring? Any precise example of what sysfs files would be created? > It would probably mean adding two new classes of sensor types, > acceleration and 'variation' types.

I think I can imagine whan an acceleration sensor is about. Not too sure what "variations" would be though. What unit are these variations expressed in? Sensors are typically about measuring a current state rather than expressing variations between states. -- Jean Delvare
