i've been thinking about something like this. not so involved, simply 
how to get to current from any ISO (with the addition of lockexec this 
is no longer a straightforward matter, esp. for those who aren't on the 
list or don't IRC). in addition, i've been thinking about some type of 
simple SOS database. it would be searchable, contain a couple of fields 
for things like app, spell, problem, etc. when someone encounters a 
problem they turn there first. if someone figures out their own (or 
someone else's) problem they go there and add it . we had something like 
this when i was doing lotus notes development and it was invaluable; any 
problem only has to be solved once, right?
