I think this is a good idea. Having the two wikis interlinked will bring
more attention to both. I am not sure a new collection is necessary (at
this time). After looking at the current Collections, it seems we need
to do a little house cleaning (and hone the purpose of collections)
before we create more. If a specific h-node hardware runs on a free
firmware, then that firmware should be vetted, added to the FSD, and
linked from h-node with a link (in the description?) to h-node from the
FSD entry. Example: <https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Das_U-Boot>

Thoughts?
