Depends on what you mean by "maintaining." As you may already
know, I number among the technically challenged. I don't know
jack about HTML, web pages, and a long list of other computing
topics. What I think I could do is: write up a (plain text)
Report Form for such incidents, distribute it to any appropriate
venues we can think of (or make it available for d/l at the SCOUG
site, and publicize this), and receive / collate any report forms
that come back. What happens after that, I don't know -- turn
'em over to you ? I have an old DOS version of FormTool Gold,
and could possibly cobble together a template that looks
something like the NS Communicator Bug Tracker summary page. But
I can't deal with turning that into web page format, nor would I
have any learned suggestions for anyone who sends in a report.

Anyway, given the right circumstances, this could be a cheap but
worthy content addition to the SCOUG site.
