I think you'll find that of any solution you choose.  The key there is 
probably to use a tool that gives enough info in the logs that the logs 
are a good part of the diagnostic process, but that's not going to stop 
someone from dropping it to install the Quake Server...

I'd prefer that entries to be added to the long list be sent directly to 
Fritz, and that he post a list with the additions as a follow-up.  Generic 
comments stand a chance of getting approved, and operational experience 
stands an even better chance.  

Lively is good if it's discussion, and bad if it's just product advocacy, 
especially when it doesn't contain anything substantative.
