A follow up. I'm close to a working prototype as I described a few weeks ago. The code looks like it was written by someone who's only been developing Android apps for two months (DH and MM would reach through the screen to strangle me) and the UI looks like it was designed by a developer, but

It certainly wouldn't be closed. I'm not looking to implement yet another issue management system or sell a hosted solution. There are many folks who already do that. I'm thinking more of a user friendly, common bridge to those systems. I'd mentioned JIRA because I have a fondness for the

I've posted about using the droiddrop remote logging tool to create a simple user's forum to address some of these same issues. See http://talkingandroid.com/2009/11/04/droiddrop-remote-logging-for-android/ There might be a way to leverage this for bug reporting as well. Let me know how I can
