I think the response being generated (if nowhere else) on this list shows 
that there IS a willingness to implement such a system.  The "best" 
design for a global trouble database is unclear at best; a lot of issues 
re: data collection, information distribution, etc. will have to be resolved.

I, for one, am willing to devote whatever time and computing resources 
are required of me to support a project like this, and I think most other 
providers share my position.  Being better informed is an advantage to 
everyone.
