A small support tool for the OSAF platform has been added to subversion and
the wiki.

The tool is "OFB", for OSAF Feedback server.  It is the server-side
component used to accept and store submissions of Chandler feedback data
(ie, error/crash info submitted by the feedback pop-up dialog included in
Chandler).  When you submit crash reports via the Chandler pop-up dialog,
OFB is where the results go!

The system is very small, with the minimum features needed to support the
uses we have so far.  It is envisioned to be used for multiple types of
feedback data and protocols; it is being used already for Chandler feedback
reports, Chandler usage reports (when enabled), and Cosmo capacity test reports.

The implementation is a single Python CherryPy script, providing both
submission and management functions.

The project has its own SVN repository hosted at OSAF (URL below) and one
wiki page, but no other project infrastructure, and in particular, no
separate mailing list.  Questions about the system can be directed here to
[email protected] for now.

My thanks to Heikki for partnering with me in the design of the
quick-and-dirty network protocol and for using the system in practice.  Also
my thanks to Bear for the SVN repository and administration.  The code
itself and its hosting at feedback.osafoundation.org are all my fault.
