This is a simple list of bugs and requests for enhancement, culled from
comments and posts to the Site Help forum on 4/14/2005. Earliest post
reviewed was "Database planning, Initial questionnaire". It is perhaps
not the best tool, but at least it offers a single place for all bugs
without duplication until we have something better.
Bug = something doesn't work right.
Config = probably can be fixed in the site configuration.
RFE = Request for enhancement. "Sure would be nice if it was this way."

private messages are awkward
Just a note to add this to the list later: I've received a few comments that the private messaging feature could be improved. Also the "sent" list does not allow access to full message history, only the most recent messages.
