should we start a mailing list for Webrecorder?

Marcus,

Thanks for fixing this problem. I did not realize this was a
webrecorder bug. These problems have repeatedly been reported to this
mailing list, and people have most frequently been blaming the email
systems for adding the extra spaces.

We are getting many requests for support for the webrecorder. Like
these, they often come as "the recorder works, but watir doesn't". Of
course they really have no way of knowing where the problem is. How do
you suggest we handle supporting these users? In many cases they have
less technical background or understanding than had Watir users
heretofor.

Also, many of the webrecorder users have run into a problem when they
have a page with only one form. The webrecorder always includes the
"form()" method, but we had designed this specifically for the case
where there was more than one form. We've recently learned that in the
case with only one form, the Watir form method actually fails. This
bug is fixed in development, but is open in 1.4.1.

How do you propose to get this information to your users? Your welcome
to use a page (or more) on our wiki, if that seems helpful.

Frankly, we need to find a better method for supporting the recorder
users. I've been considering refusing to support them on this list
because of the burden.
