the XML gets fed into the website and managed from there. it's not a full 
blown trouble ticketing system, but those tend to be cumbersome for usability 
issues due to the back-and-forth conversation, number of unique-to-usability 
attributes and sheer number of items that get noted ...

good question. if we can manage to get the developer checking against 
openusability.org then i don't think it would be necessary.

another good question =) i assume we'd just open up a project, but that may 
not be optimal...

could do ... if we have people interested in doing these reports as part of 
kde-quality (i think it's an excellent fit myself), we ought to bring back a 
summary of the issues at least.. hmm.. you know what, i'm going to track down 
el and jan on irc and have a quick chat with them about all this and will 
follow up to this list then and perhaps to kde-usability as well.
