I'm confused. It's trivially obvious that you can keep a record of what you're working on at a given time without keeping a centralised overview record based on time periods. In what way is this not clear? In my experience, the Ombudsmen do excellent work, but I think some (additional) community reporting is probably a good thing. To echo the suggestion ^^^^ up-thread, why don't we take this to meta for discussion about what we want to see from them (and what's reasonable, of course!)? J. -- James D.
