For one I am one that appreciates the work you are doing. It is people
like you that keep the Linux project alive, and that is something we
must never forget.
Thanks.
I don't know how feasable this is, but you could setup a name that
people could finger to. This way they would know which problems have
been reported and which ones you need more info on.
Requirement 1, must not be run on vger. Anything that increases vgers
load I balk at as you can imagine, loads of 60 are not funny ;-)
A diferent aproach would be a mailing list that reports problems, this
way people could send mail to the list asking for which problems have
been reported and see if theirs is in the list.
Again, would have to not be on vger. I have gotten some good ideas
and people volunteering to run a web site with uptodate information.
Basically they would have a "vger status" homepage. I'd send them a
formatted mail twice a day with whats up with vger information and
they'd transform it into html some how. Things are in the works for
this.
