There must be a better way to do this. Perhaps this is where the ESC 
committee could step in and create a process whereby, at release time, 
these may be noted on the webpage for users to read.

I am not sure if listing all known bugs on a user page is the right way 
to go. How will you keep it updated? You would have to have a person 
devoted to tracking all of the bug resolutions for the page.

On the other hand, if there is a bugzilla page listing all the 
outstanding bugs, then we could point users to that page. It would 
simplify the work for all of us.

Cheers

Marc
