You could set up a wiki. Then it would be as up to date as the volunteer contributors and no load on the devs who don't want/need/care about it. See how popular it is. It may just help a dev sometime to see that a problem exists that he is interested in. Good luck! *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me. I <am> subscribed to the list.
