I think this is a wonderful idea and would be willing to volunteer time to help out. Do you know of something like this that exists already for any other software product? If anyone else thinks this would be of help please let your comments be known so the level of interest could be gauged. I too, agree that Wolfram should already have something like this, and would love to be able to look somewhere and see if the bug/problem I am experiencing has already been reported rather than waste time reporting something already known. Where would be a good place to locate something like this? GREAT IDEA!!!! -Bob
