I think the response being generated (if nowhere else) on this list shows
that there IS a willingness to implement such a system. The "best"
design for a global trouble database is unclear at best; a lot of issues
re: data collection, information distribution, etc. will have to be resolved.
I, for one, am willing to devote whatever time and computing resources
are required of me to support a project like this, and I think most other
providers share my position. Being better informed is an advantage to
everyone.
