I think this is very good idea, even more, I think Gentoo should have error reporting tool (let say qreport) which sends information like: - ebuild version - type of bug (compiling, stability, security, etc) - emerge --info - user comments to whatever.gentoo.org, which then aggregates such data by ebuilds, platforms and bug types. People should be encouraged to use this tool whetever possible (for ex. after emerge errors). I think such tool will colect data much faster and reliable than wiki.
