What do you think @gitcnd?

Looks way better - I obviously now know what these things are, so my ability to try and remember what it was like when this page was the first one I'd ever seen about this topic is now in play!

You mention "already have" (for USB_VID) - this was (still is) also new to me, so making that maybe link someplace to explain what those are would be useful. Related ,and probably mandatory - some way for us to search or look those up is needed - how am I supposed to know (for example) if "Freenove" (the possible designer of a board I'm porting now) has such a thing? Keep in mind that it's super-really-extra-hard to work these things out, when they're new. It's easy to find "Apple" or "Espressif" because those already exist, so you know you're in the right place when you find it. If you're looking for something new, you won't find it, so you don't know if you've found where it belongs and it's missing, or, you're looking in the wrong place...

I'm assuming USB_VID is some other thing, right? Not codes defined and stored inside this repo itself?

Also keep in mind that people don't always know how to do PR's - git is massively difficult for experts, and utterly beyond the capabilities of most new contributors... are there ways to make a basic web UI to go with this system? For the sake of adding one or two lines to some text files, making folks jump through git PR hoops to accomplish that is not the best idea :-)

I've added a link to the README. https://usb.org/developers has a link to all vendor IDs they've assigned. They administer them.

I know. This is a free service and it is expected that git is a skill folks will need to use the ID anyway.
