Oh, one thing that might be interesting/helpful is a "bug log". ie, a
list of problems/inconsistencies/annoyances you encounter, optionally
categorized by where the problem lies (software, documentation, user
mindset) or including notes on what sort of fix would help you out.

It'd be interesting reading at the very least, and considering a number
of people on this list are free software authors/contributors there's
even a chance a number of them will get fixed.

FWIW.

Cheers,

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
